Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday announced the cabinet expansion and allotted respective departments to ministers who took an oath as ministers to join the state government on July 2. This came two weeks after nine NCP leaders including Ajit Pawar sworn in as Maharashtra ministers.
Ajit Pawar who took an oath as Deputy Chief Minister in the Maharashtra government got finance and planning ministries on Friday. Other newly-appointed NCP ministers have also been allotted various portfolios yesterday.
It is pertinent to note that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joined hands with Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena to form the Maharashtra government last year and senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
