Mamata Banerjee will be sworn in as Bengal Chief Minister for the third time in what is pitched as a low-key ceremony at the Governor's House in Kolkata in the shadow of Covid and post-poll violence in parts of the state. Only Mamata Banerjee will sworn in today, her party says. The rest of the cabinet and the council of ministers will be sworn in on May 9, the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. Invites have gone to cricket legend Sourav Ganguly and former Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee - who is unlikely to attend as he is unwell. Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, poll strategist Prashant Kishor, and party leader Firhad Hakim are also likely to be present. The oath ceremony will take place with Covid protocols in place at the "Throne Room" at the Raj Bhavan, says Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.More Related News
