Among the many essential portfolios, the BJP will retain house and income departments, while the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena is predicted to obtain city growth, and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP will oversee finance. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is scheduled to go to Delhi on Wednesday to safe formal approval from the BJP management. A cupboard enlargement may probably happen on December 14, although this stays unconfirmed.

Throughout Tuesday’s assembly between Fadnavis and his deputy chief ministers, Shinde and Pawar, the events finalised each the variety of cupboard positions and the distribution of key portfolios, sources mentioned.

“With the contentious three departments distributed, the parties may exchange a few departments in due course. Apart from home and revenue, the BJP is expected to retain housing and water resources. NCP may get cooperation, whilst discussion over agriculture is underway between BJP and NCP. Sena will get excise and public works department. Most of these departments were with the respective parties in the last government,” mentioned a BJP chief.

One other BJP chief advised that while the cupboard enlargement would possibly proceed on December 14, its scope stays unsure. “Ideally, it should have included over 30 additional ministers, but given the current situation, it could be limited to just 12 or 15 ministers, with three or four from each side taking oath in the first expansion. The parties are struggling to decide ministerial appointments as there are more claimants than available berths.”

“Shiv Sena faces internal conflicts over appointments and has found it difficult to drop tainted ministers from the last cabinet, as insisted by BJP. Additionally, certain departments like PWD and Agriculture are being claimed by at least two of the three parties,” he added.

An NCP chief supplied a special perspective: “The major tussle is between BJP and Shiv Sena. Our party has agreed upon the berths offer and the names to be inducted have also been finalised.”

Fadnavis has emphasised the significance of inducting most lawmakers from all three events, contemplating the wants in the course of the meeting session. He will probably be in Delhi for a two-day go to on Wednesday and Thursday, adopted by a thanksgiving rally in Nagpur on Friday. “Saturday is the only day reserved for the swearing-in ceremony. If it doesn’t occur then, it might be delayed until after the session, which is expected to conclude on December 21,” the BJP chief mentioned.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
