Former India international Manoj Tiwary entered a new chapter in his life as he was sworn in a minister of state in West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee cabinet on Monday (May 10).
Mamata Banerjee who was sworn in as Bengal CM on May 5, expanded her cabinet on Monday by adding 43 ministers, including 19 ministers of state, of which one was Tiwary.
The cabinet expansion took place at the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata in the presence of governor Jagdeep Dhankhar in a simple ceremony, keeping in mind the COVID-19 pandemic protocols.
The 35-year-old, who played 12 One-day Internationals and three T20s for India, is one of the 15 new faces in the ministry and has been given the youth and sports portfolio. (Mykhel.com)
This swearing-in ceremony has been an unprecedented experience for me. I would like to thank our favourite DIDI @MamataOfficial & my brother @abhishekaitc for having faith on me and giving this opportunity to serve the people of Bengal.
