Masjid Bari road renamed Netaji Palli road after BJP victory
Following the BJP’s election victory, party workers in Barasat, in North 24 Parganas, carried out a symbolic move by renaming Masjid Bari Road as Netaji Palli Road in honour of Subhas Chandra Bose. The development comes after the end of the Trinamool Congress’s 15-year tenure in the region.
A large number of supporters gathered to witness the change, raising slogans of “Jai Hind” and celebrating the moment. Visuals from the area showed BJP workers installing a new signboard with the updated name, reflecting the enthusiasm surrounding the election outcome.
Local BJP leaders described the renaming as a tribute to Netaji and a step towards reclaiming the area’s historical and cultural identity. They also linked it to a broader shift in governance and public sentiment in the district.
However, such actions may spark political reactions, with opposition parties and sections of the local community potentially viewing the move differently. As of now, there has been no official statement from the authorities regarding the renaming.
The development highlights the heightened political activity in the region after the elections, with symbolic gestures continuing to shape the post-poll discourse in parts of West Bengal.
