NEW DELHI: In a major Cabinet reshuffle by the Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra, newly inducted deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar has been given the finance and planning ministries while minister Chhagan Bhujbal has been allotted the food and civil supplies ministry.
Ajit Pawar to handle finance and planning ministries
Ajit Pawar, the newly inducted deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, has been given the important portfolios of finance and planning. This decision is significant considering the opposition he faced from Sena MLAs and other party legislators. They complained that Ajit Pawar had previously blocked funds for them when he was the finance minister in the previous MVA government. This move has put key portfolios in the hands of the Ajit Pawar group of the Nationalist Congress Party
Chhagan Bhujbal allotted food and civil supplies ministry
Minister Chhagan Bhujbal has been allotted the food and civil supplies ministry in the Maharashtra Cabinet reshuffle. Bhujbal, a prominent leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, will now be responsible for the crucial task of ensuring food and supplies for the state.
New ministers assigned to other portfolios
The latest reshuffle has also seen other ministers being assigned to various portfolios. Dilip Walse Patil has been given the cooperation ministry, while Dhananjay Munde has become the new agriculture minister. Aditi Tatkare has been appointed as the new women and child development minister.
Uncertainty over further cabinet expansion
Despite the recent reshuffle, uncertainty remains over the further expansion of the Maharashtra Cabinet. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is eager for immediate expansion, but the BJP believes it should take place after the monsoon session of the state legislature, which begins on July 17.
Summary:
- Ajit Pawar has been given the finance and planning ministries in the Maharashtra Cabinet reshuffle.
