CM And Deputy CMs Say 'Everyone Deserves A Chance' As Former Ministers Get Upset

Out of the 39 ministers inducted, there are 16 new faces, while 10 former ministers were excluded. Some of the prominent leaders who couldn't find a place in the new council of ministers include BJP's Sudhir Mungantiwar, senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal, and Shiv Sena's Abdul Sattar.

Expressing dissatisfaction over losing spot at the cabinet, Ramdas Athawale told ANI, "Republican Party of India (A) performed well in the Vidhan Sabha elections. We held meetings with Devendra Fadnavis, and he promised to allocate at least one ministry to us. However, in this expansion, there is no representation from RPI(A). We demand at least one ministry in the Cabinet."

According to NDTV, Shiv Sena leader Narendra Bhondekar has resigned as the deputy leader of the party and its coordinator for Vidarbha. However the MLA is not resigning from the assembly.

Hours before the cabinet expansion ceremony, Pawar said that some of those who took oath would have a tenure of two-and-a-half-years, underlining constraints in accommodating aspirations of hopefuls.

"Everyone feels like getting an opportunity to become a minister. However, the ministerial berths remain limited while everyone deserves a chance," Pawar added.
