Shinde insists on getting home early but BJP keeps him waiting
The Statesman
|December 08, 2024
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has demanded the crucial home ministry from the BJP and talks on portfolio allocation are still in progress, Mr Shinde's aide and Shiv Sena MLA Bharat Gogavale said in Mumbai on Saturday.
"When Devendra Fadnavis was Deputy Chief Minister in the Shinde-led government, he held the home ministry. Therefore Shinde has demanded the home ministry and talks on portfolio allocation are in progress," Mr Gogavale said.
He stated that cabinet expansion is likely to take place between 11 and 16 December, just ahead of the Winter session of the Maharashtra Assembly. The Maharashtra cabinet, including the chief minister, can have a maximum of 43 ministers. "A final decision on the number of ministers to take oath in the cabinet expansion will be taken in two to three days," a senior BJP leader claimed.
