Less than a week after BJP stunned Trinamool in West Bengal by making historic gains in the state in the Lok Sabha elections, chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday rejigged her 43-member cabinet with her focus firmly on North Bengal and Jangalmahal, where her party faced huge reverses.
Mamata’s damage control exercise came barely a couple of hours after three Bengal MLAs and 50 civic councillors joined BJP at a press conference at its central headquarters in Delhi. While the MLAs are from Trinamool, Congress and CPM, all the councillors are from the ruling party in Bengal.
