First reactions coming in: The TMC says that the Congress will NOT get anything by annoying Mamata. The truth is the Congress is doing very badly in West Bengal. 

The statement comes in the wake of three Bengal MPs, all vociferously anti-Mamata, being sworn-in today. They include A H Khan Chowdhry, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhry and Deepa Dasmunshi.

The BJP, meanwhile, says that the reshuffle will not help.

The PM adds another statement on Rahul Gandhi, that he always wanted him in the cabinet, but it has been Rahul's decision to stay out as he wants to strengthen the party.
