More than a month after Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde took oath as the chief minister of Maharashtra with Devendra Fadnavis as his deputy, the much-awaited expansion of the Cabinet is set to take place on Tuesday, 9 August, a senior state BJP leader said.
"The Cabinet expansion will take place tomorrow in Mumbai. I cannot divulge any details about it and who will be in the Cabinet," the senior BJP leader told PTI on Monday.
Reports on Sunday suggested that Fadnavis was likely to get the home ministry with at least 15 more members to be inducted into the Cabinet.
