West Bengal Cabinet To Get '4-5 New Faces', Reshuffle
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will reshuffle the cabinet and four to five new faces are set to join her cabinet on Wednesday.
"Many of them are writing a lot. We don't have a plan to dissolve the whole ministry and form a new one. Yes, there will be a reshuffle. We lost ministers Subrata Mukherjee and Sadhan Pande. Partha is in jail so all their work has to be done. Not possible for me to handle alone," CM Mamata said earlier, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Sources in the ruling Trinamool Congress said this is likely to be one of the biggest reshuffles since the party came to power in 2011.
The cabinet reshuffle comes at a time when the party is under political opposition over the arrest of senior minister Partha Chatterjee by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the school job scam after the Trinamool returned to power in the state for the third time last year.
