KOLKATA: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee has struck a fine balance between experience and fresh faces, packing her council of 43 ministers with eight women and seven members from the minority community.
While handpicking her team, Banerjee has had an eye on district representation. She has also undertaken some major changes in portfolio distribution, possibly based on public feedback.
Like earlier, the CM has kept for herself a few key departments such as home, Hill affairs, health and family welfare, land and land reforms, refugee relief and rehabilitation, information and culture, and north Bengal development.
Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar administered the oath of office and secrecy to the ministers.
Three TMC leaders Amit Mitra, Bratya Basu, and Rathin Ghosh were sworn in virtually. Mitra is unwell and both Basu and Ghosh are recuperating from Covid-19.
Those who were sworn in include 24 cabinet ministers and 10 ministers of state (independent charge).
Eight women were sworn in, and with the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the total number of women has increased to nine.
The portfolios were decided at the first cabinet meeting of the government at the state secretariat.
The chief minister retained the portfolios of Home and Hill Affairs, Personnel and Administration, Health and Family Welfare, Land and Land Reforms and Refugee and Rehabilitation, and the Information and cultural affairs and North Bengal Development.
A day after Mamata Banerjee hit the road with thousands of women in Siliguri to protest the steep rise in prices of LPG cylinders and fuel, Trinamul candidates and leaders took out colourful protests on Monday across the state on this issue.
Sources said, the top Trinamul leaderships in Calcutta had instructed the party leaders in districts and the contesting nominees in 291 constituencies to flag the rise in the prices of fuel and LPG cylinders as both are connected to the daily life of common people.
The price of an LPG cylinder has touched Rs 845 now, making it outside the realm of the budgets of many households.
