Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday expanded his cabinet by inducting 35 ministers — including his son Aditya Thackeray — comprising 25 of Cabinet and 10 of Minister of State rank.
Nationalist Congress Party senior leader Ajit Pawar was sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister for a record fourth time.
All the new ministers were sworn in this afternoon by Governor B.S. Koshyari outside the Maharashtra Legislature Complex, Nariman Point.
Welcoming the expansion, the ruling allies Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress leaders termed it as a “well-balanced” exercise by Thackeray giving appropriate representation to all sections, communities and regions in the state.
