Maha Cabinet: 18 New Minister Takes Oath As Shinde Government Expands After 40 Days | Latest News

At a formal ceremony held today in Mumbai, 18 MLAs—9 from the BJP and 9 from the Shiv Sena group headed by the chief minister Eknath Shinde—were sworn in as ministers. This eagerly awaited cabinet extension came 40 days after the Uddhav Thackeray-led government was overthrown by a mutiny by the Sena party led by Mr. Shinde. Before the event this morning, Chief Minister Shinde had a meeting with MLAs from his side. After Mr. Shinde was sworn in as chief minister and Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP was appointed as his deputy in June, the opposition criticised the length of time it took to enlarge the government. Mr. Shinde and the BJP leadership met several times prior to the expansion of the cabinet.#MaharastraCabinet #EknathShinde #DevendraFadnavisRead More
