How many Ministers from which quota in the Cabinet expansion in Maharashtra?
Reportedly before the cabinet expansion in maharashtra, the big question is what will Eknath Shinde's party shiv sena get? Sources said that there will be 12 ministers from Shiv Sena's quota. Out of these, eight will be cabinet and 4 will be state ministers. Sources said that uday Samant, Shambhuraj Desai, Dada Bhuse, Pratap Sarnaik, Sanjay Shirsat, Gulabrao Patil, ashish Jaiswal, arjun Khotkar and Bharat Gogavale can take oath as cabinet ministers. At the same time, yogesh Kadam, Vijay Shivtare and Rajendra Yadravkar or Prakash Abitkar can take oath as state ministers.
Meanwhile there is a claim about Eknath Shinde that he is angry with the possible division of departments. bjp is not ready to give him the home and Revenue departments. shiv sena wants to keep both the ministries with itself. However, shiv sena can get the Urban Development Department. Speculations of Shinde's displeasure gained further fuel when he did not come to delhi with devendra fadnavis and ajit pawar on Wednesday. Let us tell you that earlier the plan was for all three leaders to come to Delhi.
Earlier fadnavis and ajit pawar met senior bjp leaders on Thursday. It is believed that during this time the names of cabinet ministers were discussed. ncp has once again raised the demand for Finance Ministry among the major ministries. In the previous Eknath Shinde government, ajit pawar was the Finance minister along with the Deputy CM. In the cabinet expansion, 22 bjp and 10 ncp leaders can become ministers. There can be a maximum of 43 ministers in the maharashtra cabinet including the Chief Minister. The Mahayuti alliance has won 230 out of 288 seats in the assembly elections. After this, on december 5, fadnavis took oath as the chief minister and Shinde and ajit pawar took oath as Deputy Chief Ministers.
