KOLKATA: Mamata Banerjee was on Sunday formally elected Trinamool Congress legislature party leader and said pre-poll ally Congress would be part of her "small" ministry.
Two days after her party stormed to power with three-fourths majority, ending 34 years of Left Front rule in West Bengal, the name of 56-year-old Banerjee as TCLP leader was proposed by Subrata Bakshi.
The formality of her election was completed at Maharashtra Niwas hall in south Kolkata where all the 184 newly-elected Trinamool Congress MLAs were present.
Addressing the meeting, Banerjee said she was happy that the Congress had submitted a letter of support to a Trinamool Congress-led ministry to governor MK Narayanan.
"We will also submit a letter to the governor (with the list of supporters)," she said.
She said that her ministry would be small in size and Congress and SUCI would take part in it.
