Deepa Dasmunshi

As the West Bengal assembly polls move into the fifth and penultimate phase on April 30, all eyes will be on Bhowanipore where Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee is facing a challenge from Left Front-backed Congress nominee Deepa Dasmunshi and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose of the BJP.

Polling began for six Lok Sabha seats in the second phase of the elections in West Bengal today.

Another Mamata Banerjee man and more provocative words. This time it was West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra who went on a rant during a public rally on Monday attacking the state's election commission chief, the CPM, the Congress, the BJP and anyone else in between.

Union Minister Jairam Ramesh attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday, questioning her claim that the Centre was not providing funds to her government and said she was "not a good administrator".

Giving an indication of their strong stand against the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal in the coming days, the new union ministers from the state lost no time in launching an attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday.

Ahead of today's reshuffle of the Union Council of Ministers, Congress MP and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's bete noire Deepa Dasmunshi has said that she received a phone call from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh informing her that she would be inducted in the ministry.

A major Cabinet reshuffle that is scheduled to take place on Sunday is likely to see the inclusion of several new faces, NDTV has learnt. Ahead of that big reshuffle, five senior ministers have put in their papers. Majority of them said they want to work for the party.
