West Bengal Assembly Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay on Tuesday proposed to have a state song in line with the National Song.
“Different states have their own state songs. But in West Bengal still there is none. A National Song is applicable for the entire country. So the state song is applicable for that state. So if West Bengal too has a state song of its own, it would be excellent,” the Speaker said.
The Indian states already having their own state songs include Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Odisha and Tamil Nadu, among others.
