Mamata cabinet to have 43 ministers, Amit Mitra also included

The Mamata Banerjee government ministry will be expanded on Monday.

24 cabinet ministers, 10 ministers of state with independent charge and another 9 ministers of state will be inducted in to the candidate. 

The 24-member cabinet includes some old names like former ministers Subrata Mukherjee, Partha Chatterjee. 

Some new faces that include long-time MLA Bamkim Chandra Hazra, Madhyamgram MLA Rathin Ghosh, and newly-elected MLAs like Pulok Roy and Biplab Mitra.

The most surprising name is of perhaps former Finance Minister Amit Mitra, who had not contested this election due to ill-health.
