Watch | Mamata Banerjee sworn in as West Bengal CM for second time

Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee was on Friday sworn-in as West Bengal's chief minister for the second time. Forty-one others also were sworn-in as her ministers. Banerjee, the state's eighth chief minister and the first woman to occupy the post, took her oath in Bengali. In the recent assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee led the Trinamool Congress to a landslide victory, with the party winning 211 seats. This was well above the two-thirds majority mark of 196 -- that was required to sweep back to power.
