Meanwhile, cabinet reshuffle was also announced by the Bengal Chief Minister, with four to five new faces set to join the council of ministers on Wednesday.
“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, Sadhan Pande. Partha da is in jail so all their work has to be done. Not possible for me to handle alone,” added Mamata Banerjee.
Banerjee now has 11 departments of administration, including four of Partha Chatterjee’s.
