In fact, a lot of changes in the seating arrangements are on the cards with the inclusion of 17 MPs into the government a month back and removal of a few ministers. TMC leader Sudip Bandopadhyay told PTI that Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath has assured him that the new seating arrangements would be in place by tomorrow.

The 19-member group, which was part of the Congress-led UPA till just two months back, has already told the Lok Sabha Secretariat that its seating arrangement needed to be changed as it was no longer in the ruling alliance.
