The Maharashtra cabinet expansion has been the focus of much attention lately. Sources suggest that Ajit Pawar, who recently joined forces with the Shiv Sena and BJP 'Mahayuti' government led by Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, is highly likely to be given the finance portfolio.
The Shinde-Fadnavis government was formed in June and on August 9, 18 ministers were inducted. As per rules, the council of ministers in the state can have a maximum of 43 members. However, neither Shinde nor Fadnavis had given an exact timeline for the expansion of the council of ministers.
The cabinet expansion was further delayed when Ajit Pawar and several NCP MLAs loyal to him joined the government. But now, it looks like the expansion is imminent. We can expect developments in this regard soon.
