Maharashtra ministry may be expanded today

June 02, 2014 07:45

Expansion of the Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan-led Congress-NCP ministry is scheduled to take place today.

Two ministers are set to be inducted at 9.30 am at Raj Bhavan, they said.

Chavan, who returned from Delhi on Sunday evening after meeting the Congress top leadership, met Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan at the Raj Bhavan in this connection, the sources said.

Incidentally, the hurriedly announced expansion of the Chavan-led ministry in Maharashtra had failed to materialise on Sunday, giving the Opposition ample fodder to ridicule the Congress-NCP government.

"The Congress (led) state government is hilarious! They declare (to) swear in new ministers and within two hours they hold it (back)," BJP Mumbai unit president Ashish Shelar said.

"(They have) no shame for such poor decision making skills. It is such style of work that has put the city in a coma," Shelar had said.
