The oath-taking ceremony took place in Nagpur, a day before the commencement of the week-long Winter Session of the state legislature on December 16.
While 33 were inducted as Cabinet ministers, 6 were sworn in as ministers of state. Out of the 33 Cabinet ministers, 16 are from BJP, 9 from Shiv Sena and 8 from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). The BJP has also retained the lion’s share in the ministers of state list, with three MLAs being sworn in from the party. Two Ministers of state are from Shiv Sena and one is from the NCP.
With the swearing-in, power sharing agreements between the Mahayuti alliance are expected to be finalised soon. The Home portfolio, which was a major point of contention between the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena, will be retained by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
