Maharashtra Shiv Sena leader and MLA Sanjay Shirsat on Friday issued a stern warning to the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis-led government about the possible “bad consequences” in the near future if the cabinet expansion continues to be delayed in the state.

“Everyone wants to become a minister, but no one says it. You cannot keep it stretching for long. The time has come to make a concrete decision. If the cabinet expansion is further delayed, the consequences will be bad,” Shirsat stated.

The Eknath Shinde-led government, which assumed office in June 2022 following the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, has only witnessed two cabinet expansions — the first in 2022 and the second in July 2023 — which included the induction of NCP’s Ajit Pawar and eight other MLAs.

Shirsat, who is also eyeing a cabinet position, emphasised the urgent need for Shinde and Fadnavis to clarify their stance on the matter.
