On June 1, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari expanded his cabinet with the induction of 35 BJP MLAs during a ceremony at Lok Bhavan, attended by Governor R.N. Ravi. This expansion increases the cabinet's total strength to 41 members, including the Chief Minister. The new cabinet comprises a diverse group of legislators, including notable names such as Deepak Barman, Tapas Roy, and Arjun Singh. It features both young and seasoned leaders, aiming to bolster governance across various departments. Under Article 164(1A) of the Constitution, the state assembly, which has 294 members, permits a maximum of 44 ministers, allowing for a council of ministers that constitutes 15% of the assembly's strength. This reshuffle is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the administrative capabilities of the newly formed BJP government in West Bengal.
