Lok Sabha passes Bill to rename Kerala as ‘Keralam’

hellohimachalse@gmail.com 12 Aug 2026 2 hours ago

New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed a Bill to rename Kerala as ‘Keralam’ without a debate, with the government taking a swipe at Congress MPs from the state for not participating in a discussion on the matter.

The Kerala Assembly passed a resolution in 2024 urging the Centre to bring a law to change the name of the state to Keralam.

The Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, moved by Union Minister of State for Home, Nityanand Rai, was passed by a voice vote without any debate amid sloganeering.
