The Statesman|December 19, 2024
The official announcement about allocation of portfolios to Maharashtra's newly sworn in ministers could take more time and might happen by Friday or even Saturday, which would be the concluding day of the six-day Maharashtra assembly winter session, which began in Nagpur on Monday, December 16, sources said here on Wednesday.

Sources said that portfolio allocation of the Maharashtra state cabinet has been completed and that the final approval will be given during the next 24 hours.

It is learnt that the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena's list of portfolios and the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP) list of portfolios are expected to reach Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday. Shortly thereafter, CM Fadnavis is expected to give the complete list of portfolio allocation to Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan in two days, sources said.
