A New Era for West Bengal: Diverse Cabinet Takes the Oath

Tue, Jun 2, 2026(3h ago)World

In a significant political development, thirty-five BJP legislators were officially sworn in as ministers in West Bengal, marking a major expansion for the party’s first government in the state. The ceremony, conducted by Governor R.N. Ravi, saw a diverse group of representatives take office, ranging from grassroots workers to seasoned media professionals. Among the notable appointments is Kalita Majhi, a former domestic worker who earned a modest income before rising to political prominence. Majhi has expressed a heartfelt commitment to uplifting the marginalized, focusing her efforts on improving women's safety, providing clean drinking water, and advocating for the needs of backward communities.

The newly formed ministry also boasts prominent voices like veteran journalist and Padma Bhushan recipient Swapan Dasgupta, who has underscored the government’s urgent need to restore institutional integrity and tackle corruption. The cabinet features seven women, including former fashion designer Agnimitra Paul, who has already hit the ground running as the minister for women and child development. One of her first major policy initiatives—providing free bus travel for women—aims to ease the daily lives of countless students and working professionals, signaling a clear shift in the state's governance priorities as the new administration begins its work to rebuild infrastructure and restore investor confidence.
