Sabina Yeasmin is an Indian politician who has been serving as Cabinet Minister of State for Irrigation and Waterways, North Bengal Development in the Government of West Bengal. She is an MLA, elected from the Mothabari (Vidhan Sabha constituency) in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly.[1][2]

Political career

She is first Muslim woman minister in Government of West Bengal in the First Mamata Banerjee ministry and current Third Mamata Banerjee ministry.[3][4][5] Sabina Yasmin's victory from Mothabari was particularly creditable because Shehnaz Quadery, a niece of A. B. A. Ghani Khan Choudhury contested the seat as an independent candidate. She was one of the seven Muslim woman MLAs in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly.[6] She resigned as a minister when the Congress party decided to pull out of the Mamata Banerjee government.[7] In 2018 she joined All India Trinamool Congress.[8]
