The ongoing cabinet expansion in the state is also important because the week-long winter session of the state legislature in Maharashtra will begin from December 16 ie tomorrow in Nagpur, the second capital of the state.
Let us know that the Maharashtra Council of Ministers can have a maximum of 43 members including the Chief Minister. Recently (December 13), state BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule met Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar separately regarding the cabinet expansion. Sources say the BJP is likely to get 20-21 ministerial posts. After that, Shiv Sena may get 11-12 ministerial posts and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) may get 9-10 ministerial posts. There are many ups and downs seen before the formation of the government in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena has often talked about giving Shinde a job commensurate with his stature. According to sources, the party asked the Home Ministry, which BJP did not agree to.
Devendra Fadnavis is said to have finalized the list of 22 ministers for the State Cabinet. He met Prime Minister Narendra Modi a day earlier to discuss the distribution of power and the priorities of the newly formed government. It was reported that the two discussed the schemes and projects to be implemented in the state.
