Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to expand Cabinet

Exactly 32 days after he was sworn-in on November 28, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is all set to expand his council of ministers, here on Monday. Since the past two weeks, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders comprising Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress have held a series of meetings to finalize the Cabinet expansion plans. Currently, besides the Chief Minister, the MVA government has just six Cabinet ministers, two each from the three parties. On Monday, (December 30) around 36 ministers — including those of Cabinet Minister and Minister of State ranks — are likely to be inducted. Maharashtra Governor B.S. Koshyari will administer the oath to the new team around noon in the Maharashtra Legislature precinct. (IANS)
