Bengal cabinet rejig announced by Mamata Banerjee: 'Impossibility of handling alone.

The news was made on Monday, a few days after Partha Chatterjee's detention.

The Bengal government will be reorganized on Wednesday, according to the announcement made by Mamata Banerjee on Monday. The chief minister stated in a briefing that at least four more hires can be anticipated. The announcement came shortly after Partha Chatterjee and his assistant Arpita Mukherjee were detained in connection with the school jobs investigation and then suspended from their positions as state ministers.

On Wednesday at 4 pm, a reorganization is anticipated. She added during the briefing that the cabinet would be reshuffled on Wednesday and that there would be four to five new faces. Partha Chatterjee was also mentioned by her. "We don't intend to disband the current ministry completely and start anew. Yes, there will be a change of personnel. Sadhan Pande and Subrata Mukherjee were lost as ministers. All their task must be completed because Partha is in prison. I am unable to handle this situation alone "She was said to have said.

The chief minister also mentioned Bengal's seven new districts, which brought the state's total number of districts up from 23 to 30.

Sunderban, Ichhemati, Ranaghat, Bishnupur, Jangipur, Behrampur, and one more district Basirhat are among the seven new districts, according to her.

Rivals, especially the BJP, have sharply criticized the Trinamool Congress administration over the arrest of Partha Chatterjee and her assistant in the school jobs issue. According to reports, Mamata Banerjee was close with Chatterjee.

Cash from Mukherjee's home worth 21 crore rupees was discovered during the raids.

The chief minister stated last week that if he was guilty, he should be punished but that her name should not be brought up in the process, making it abundantly apparent that her government had no tolerance for corruption.
