BJP's 'Massacre' Claim After Road Name Change. Then Trinamool's History Jibe
The renaming of a road in Kolkata has emerged as the latest flashpoint between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress, weeks after the ruling dispensation vowed a 'poriborton' (change). Suhrawardy Avenue, a wide stretch connecting two key crossings in Kolkata, will now be known as Gopal Mukherjee Road, in what appears to be the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC)'s tribute to a figure widely known as the 'saviour' of the city. The issue is who the civic body had in mind while deciding to remove Suhwarady's name from the road. While Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari was quick to link Suhwarady with a massacre, the Trinamool claimed it wasn't him who inspired the naming of that particular road.
