Earlier on Tuesday Eknath Shinde while speaking to the media in Pune said his government is doing “good work” and that a cabinet expansion will soon take place.
"We will soon expand our cabinet. Even as the cabinet expansion has not taken place, the government is working efficiently. We have taken multiple decisions that are people-oriented," said Shinde as reported by news agency PTI.
The state legislature's monsoon session was scheduled to start from July 18, but it was put off after Shinde brought down the Uddhav Thackeray-led government.
At present, Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP are the only members of the cabinet. They had taken oath on June 30 after Uddhav Thackeray resigned and the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition failed to prove its majority in the assembly.
