Digital Desk: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee will reshuffle her Cabinet on Wednesday (August 3) before departing for New Delhi, where she is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"On Wednesday, there will be a minor reshuffle. Four to five ministers will be assigned to organizational duties. Five to six more members would be added to the Cabinet," Banerjee told reporters on Monday.
This will be the first such reshuffle since the Trinamool Congress (TMC) assumed power in May last year for the third time in a row.
Two Cabinet ministers, Subrata Mukherjee, and Sadhan Pande died, while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained Partha Chatterjee in connection with an alleged multi-crore recruitment scam in government schools.
In connection with the suspected scam, central agencies have questioned and raided the residence of another minister, Paresh Adhikary. The Calcutta High Court also removed his daughter from her position as a school teacher.
"While the chief minister has removed Chatterjee from the Cabinet, junior education minister Paresh Adhikary may be removed as well," stated a TMC leader.
Former Union minister Babul Supriyo, who joined the TMC in September 2021, was among those expected to be inducted into the Cabinet.
