Mamata's Banerjee's cabinet on Monday witnessed the swearing-in of 43 Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders at Raj Bhavan in Kolkata.

The ministers were administered the oath by Governor Jagdeep Dhankar.

Out of the 43 candidates sworn in today, 24 are full ministers, 19 are state ministers.

There were 15 new faces in the cabinet this time including former IPS officer Humayun Kabir, former Bengal Ranji captain Manoj Tiwari and Siuli Saha.

Earlier on May 5, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee took oath as the Chief Minister of West Bengal for the third consecutive term.

It may be mentioned that TMC won 213 seats in the recently concluded West Bengal Assembly Elections, which was supposed to be a closely contested poll between the TMC and BJP, but it turned out to be otherwise.

The BJP managed 77 seats in the 294-seat state Assembly.
