Mamata reshuffles cabinet; nine ministers sworn-in

Kolkata, Aug. 3 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday carried out a major reshuffle of her cabinet as nine people including Babul Supriyo, former BJP central minister, were sworn in. Of the nine, five were administered oath as cabinet ministers, two as ministers of state and two others as ministers of state – independent charge by Governor La Ganesan. The portfolios will be announced later. The cabinet reshuffle, the first since the TMC returned to power for the third consecutive term last year, came when the party is facing a crisis over the arrest of senior minister Partha Chatterjee by the ED over the school jobs scam. Banerjee had on Monday carried out a major overhaul in her party. She had said that four-five new faces would be inducted into the new cabinet, while a similar number of present cabinet members would be utilised for party work. Finally, the numbers inducted were far higher than earlier expected. Of them, Babul Supriyo, Udayan Guha, Partha Bhowmick, Snehasis Chakraborty and Pradip Mazumdar were sworn in as cabinet ministers. TMC MLA Biplab Ray Chowdhury was sworn in as MOS- Independent charge while Tajmul Hossain and Satyajit Barman were sworn in...
