Amit Shah promises to change the name of Thakurnagar station if BJP comes to power in Bengal
FollowIf the BJP comes to power in West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah promised to change the name of Thakurnagar station. Shah promised that the BJP chief minister would send a proposal to the railway ministry to change the name of the station within a week of coming to power.
On the same day, Shah said, BJP wants to change the name of Thakurnagar station to Sridham Thakurnagar. But the role of the state is important. The Centre cannot change the name of the station unless it receives a proposal from the state.
Mamata Banerjee did not send a proposal to change the name of Thakurnagar station to the Centre. Amit Shah claimed that the Chief Minister will send the proposal to the Railway Ministry within seven days after the formation of the BJP government in West Bengal.
The Thakurnagar station of Sealdah-Bangaon branch was built in 1906. After the partition of the country, the importance of this station increased due to the Namashudra movement.
In 2009, Rail announced this station as model station. Although various infrastructures have been built since then, no government has been able to launch frozen container trains in response to the demands of florists in large areas of the area.
On the same day, Union home minister Amit Shah reassured refugees, particularly namasudras and Matuas, of granting citizenship once the Covid vaccination drive, now under way, was over.
