Mamata Banerjee, who ended the uninterrupted 34-year reign of the Left in West Bengal, made history on Friday when she was sworn in as the first woman chief minister of the state at the head of a 38-member Trinamool Congress-Congress coalition government. Banerjee, 56, was sworn in by governor M K Narayanan as the 11th chief minister of the state. “I will work day and night at least for the next seven days without taking any off,” Banerjee said, ahead of holding a cabinet meeting at Writers’ Buildings, known for long as the Left’s citadel of power. “I will have to work now. I can’t take a holiday”
