Sources in the party have been maintaining that Congress will induct at least one minister from West Bengal during this reshuffle.
The withdrawal of support by Trinamool Congress has made the inductions from West Bengal Congress in the Cabinet imperative as otherwise the state will go unrepresented once TMC is out.
The 19-member Trinamool Congress has one cabinet minister, Mukul Roy and five ministers of state, Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Sougata Roy, Sultan Ahmed, Sisir Adhikary and C M Jatua in the union council of ministers.
Congress has three members in Lok Sabha from West Bengal and one from Rajya Sabha.
Top sources in the party indicated that the upcoming reshuffle of the union cabinet is going to be "substantive". (more)
