Mamata Banerjee was sworn in as Bengal Chief Minister for the third time in the shadow of Covid and post-poll violence in parts of the state. Mamata Banerjee, in her trademark white Sari and shawl, took oath in Bengali. The rest of the cabinet and the council of ministers will be sworn in on May 9, the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. The oath ceremony took place with Covid protocols in place at the "Throne Room" at the Raj Bhavan.
