Mamata is 3rd time Chief Minister of West Bengal |
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee took oath as the chief minister of West Bengal for her third consecutive term on 5th May after winning the high-stakes West Bengal Assembly elections on 2nd May. The oath-taking ceremony, being held at Raj Bhavan, was organised keeping in mind the Covid-19 protocols. It was a low-key event in which chief ministers of other states and leaders of other political parties were not invited. Wearing a white saree and a shawl, Mamata Banerjee was sworn in as the CM of West Bengal by Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar. She took the oath in Bengali. Soon after taking oath, the CM urged all political parties to ensure peace prevails in the state. Governor Dhankhar, too, condemned the reports of post-poll violence in the state and said that the government needed to put an end to it. He had earlier called the law and order situation in the state `alarming` and summoned the state`s Director general of police. Reports of attacks on political workers after the TMC swept back to power in the state surfaced on 2nd May, following which the Union Ministry of Home Affairs sought a report on the alleged incidents from the West Bengal government.
