"We will not accept... ": BJP Suvendu Adhikari slams CM Mamata over change of state foundation date

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 7 : BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday led a march towards the Governor’s office in response to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s decision to change West Bengal foundation day from June 20 to April 15.
Mamata Banerjee took to X and said “West Bengal Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution and unanimously agreed on 'Bangla Dibas.' Henceforth, ‘Poila Boishakh’, the auspicious day of the Bengali New Year, will be our Foundation Day.”
Reacting on it, Suvendu Adhikari said “We will not accept this, since they (TMC) are in majority this resolution has been passed. People of Bengal know that West Bengal got its freedom because of Dr Shayama Prasad Mukherjee and she is trying to forget him just because he is the creator of BJP. There is history behind the foundation day of Bengal and it is very tragic. We will not let them forget it.”
“Earlier we have protested in Vidhan Sabha and now we are protesting against this resolution and we are going to the West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose so that he does not sign this resolution,” Adhikari added.
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee further informed that 'Banglar Mati, Banglar Jal' written by Rabindranath Tagore will be the new state anthem.
"Simultaneously, 'Banglar Mati, Banglar Jal,' penned by Kobiguru Rabindranath Tagore, will become our new State Anthem. This is a day of great pride for us all. Let's celebrate our progress and togetherness!" she said.
Earlier West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose had announced the Paschim Banga Diwas (West Bengal Day) will be celebrated on June 20 annually and it will be noted as the official foundation day of the state.
On June 20, 1947, the Bengal Legislative Council passed the West Bengal Bill, which led to the creation of the state.
