Let us inform that on June 30, Eknath Shinde took oath as the Chief Minister and Devendra Fadnavis as the Deputy Chief Minister. An aide of Shinde, on the condition of anonymity, said that the next phase of cabinet expansion will take place later.

Sources said that Shinde will have a heavy responsibility of giving place to the rebel leaders in the cabinet.
