The newly elected state government in West Bengal has renamed a prominent road in Kolkata, triggering a major political controversy. The administration justified the decision as correcting a historical wrong, arguing the street was named after a controversial political leader associated with past communal violence, replacing it with the name of a figure celebrated for protecting people during the riots.

This decision has sparked a heated debate between the ruling party and opposition leaders across the state.
