Cabinet expansion in Maharashtra scheduled on Monday
Mumbai/UNI: The much-awaited expansion of the Maharashtra council of ministers of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Uddhav Thackeray will take place on Monday, the Congress sources said.
As many as 36 ministers could take oath on that day.
Currently, the Uddhav Thackeray-led cabinet has six ministers besides chief minister Thackeray.
The swearing-in will take place at the Vidhan Bhavan (state legislature complex) here.
All the arrangement are made in Vidhan Bhavan in which Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari will administer the oath to new ministers.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray took oath as the 19th Maharashtra Chief Minister on Nov 28, becoming the first from his popular family to assume the topmost position to lead a "secular government" in association with ideologically opposite Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress.
Sena formed government with ideologically different NCP and Congress after they fell out with poll ally BJP over demand for a rotational chief minister.
