4 things related to the new cabinet…
- Ministers were sworn in at Nagpur Raj Bhavan after 33 years. Earlier in 1991, the cabinet of Congress CM Sudhakarrao Naik was expanded.
- Sudhakarrao Naik’s nephew Indranil Naik has taken oath as Minister of State from NCP quota. His grandfather Vasantrao Naik has also been CM.
- BJP MLC Pankaja Munde and her brother NCP MLA Dhananjay Munde have been made cabinet ministers. Both are from Gopinath Munde’s family.
- Nitesh Rane has become a minister from BJP quota. He is the son of BJP MP from Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg and former CM Narayan Rane. His elder brother Nilesh Rane is an MLA from Shiv Sena.
- Ajit Pawar said that the tenure of the ministers taking oath will be two and a half years. This rule will apply to all the ministers of the Mahayuti government.
BJP has Home, Shiv Sena has Health and NCP has Finance Department. It is being claimed in the reports that BJP wants to keep Home, Revenue, Higher Education, Law, Energy, Rural Development with itself.
The party has offered health, urban development, public works and industry to Shiv Sena. At the same time, departments like finance, planning, cooperation, agriculture have been offered to NCP.
Cabinet expansion was delayed due to lack of consensus regarding Home and Finance ministries. Deputy CM Eknath Shinde was claiming the Home and Finance ministries, whereas the BJP did not want to give the Home Ministry to anyone.
In the Shinde government, the Home Ministry was with the then Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis. That’s why Eknath Shinde wanted to keep the Home Ministry with himself.
