Following the recent induction of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ministers into the cabinet, the first cabinet meeting will be held today at 12 noon at Mantralaya, the state secretariat. It is noteworthy that the newly appointed NCP ministers are yet to be allotted portfolios, making this cabinet meeting particularly significant. The meeting is anticipated to address the allocation of portfolios and the division of responsibilities among the newly inducted ministers.
Ajit Pawar’s coup on NCP
NCP leader Ajit Pawar on Sunday, July 2, joined hands with BJP and Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena and was inducted in the government as second Deputy Chief Minister. This will be his third stint in the post.
He was backed by one of the working president of the party and Rajya Sabha MP Praful Patel and those of the ranks like Chhagan Bhujbal, Hasan Mushrif, and others who had always backed Sharad Pawar.
After his oath-taking ceremony he claimed that he had support from all the legislators from the party but Sharad Pawar claimed that he had no idea and that they do not support the move. They also have expelled some members for “anti-party activity” and moved disqualification notice against those who have been inducted in the cabinet.
