Mamata Banerjee takes oath as Bengal CM for the third time

Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee has sworn-in as the Chief Minister of West Bengal for the third time in a row after her party registered a landslide victory in the West Bengal assembly elections.

Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar administered the oath of office and secrecy to Mamata Banerjee at Raj Bhavan in a low-key event because of the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The Trinamool Congress chief took the oath in the Bengali language.

Apart from senior leaders of the TMC party, election strategist Prashant Kishor, who played a pivotal role in Mamata’s victory, and Banerjee MP nephew Abhishek Banerjee were present.

Mamata Banerjee-led TMC won 213 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party accumulated 77 seats in the 294-seat state assembly. The ISF and an Independent managed to win one seat each. Notably, the elections for two seats are suspended because of the demise of candidates due to Covid.
