Maharashtra’s cabinet expansion is likely to take place by December 14, with the state government planning to finalize new appointments in the coming days. The long-awaited expansion has been the subject of political discussions for weeks, with several names under consideration for key portfolios.
Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi, where they are expected to discuss the cabinet reshuffle and the final list of ministers. The meeting is seen as crucial in finalizing the details of the expansion and resolving any pending issues.
The expansion has been delayed due to ongoing deliberations within the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its alliance partner, Shiv Sena. Sources suggest that the final cabinet lineup will be aimed at strengthening the state government and ensuring balanced representation from different regions and communities.
Fadnavis’ meeting with PM Modi is seen as a key step in wrapping up the process, with an official announcement on the expansion expected soon after their discussions. This move is expected to provide a fresh impetus to the state’s governance and political dynamics.
