Eknath Shinde was Chief Minister of Maharashtra in the erstwhile government that retained power in the state after winning the 2024 assembly elections.

The portfolios of the ministers will be announced soon. But, the sources said, both the Shiv Sena and NCP are expected to keep the portfolios they held in the previous Mahayuti government, with the Shiv Sena gaining one additional ministry.

The BJP is likely to retain major departments such as revenue, education, power and irrigation. NCP is expected to keep the finance, cooperative, agriculture and sports portfolios.

Shinde Group MLA resigned

The swearing-in ceremony of the newly inducted ministers today was marred by the rebellion by Narendra Bhondekar of Shiv Sena (Shinde Group). Unhappy over not getting a ministrial berth, Bhondekar, a Member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from Bhandara Vidhan Sabha constituency, has resigned.

In his resignation letter, Bhondekar - a 3-time MLA, wrote Eknath Shinde had promised him ministership before the elections.

The ruling Mahayuti Alliance of the BJP, NCP (Ajit Pawar) and Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) had sweeped the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections winning all together 235 of the total 288 seats.

The ECI final data showed the BJP won 132 seats, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) won 57 seats whereas NCP (Ajit Pawar) won a total of 41 seats.
