Two Congress ministers to be sworn-in today

The Congress late Thursday decided that two of its legislators would take oath as part of the Mamata Banerjee-led ministry in West Bengal on Friday.

"It has been decided that two of the ministers will take oath. They are (Pradesh Congress president) Manas Bhuniya and newly-elected Congress legislature party leader Abu Hena," state party spokesman Om Prakash Mishra said.

The Congress has been given seven berths in the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government.

"We will decide the names of the other five members later," Mishra said.

Earlier, it was decided that a 43-member ministerial team would be sworn in alongside Banerjee at the Raj Bhavan on Friday.
