Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar announced that the much-anticipated cabinet expansion in Maharashtra is set to take place on December 14. The announcement came shortly after Pawar’s meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Pawar stated, “I went to wish him (Sharad Pawar) on his birthday… Cabinet expansion in Maharashtra will take place on December 14.”
The cabinet expansion has been a long-standing point of discussion within Maharashtra’s political circles, with leaders across party lines urging for additional appointments to accommodate representatives from various factions.
