Mamata removed the minister who was in jail for four months
In West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee has created a surprise by removing Forest Minister Jyotipriya Mallik. ED has arrested Mallik in the case of corruption in ration distribution.

The Trinamool Congress says the party has a zero-tolerance policy on corruption and does not want to have people in the government who look even suspicious, hence Mallick's removal.
