Mumbai: The expansion of the Mahayuti cabinet, which was expected to take place on December 10 or 11, is unlikely. The exercise may take place on December 14 or 15, say sources from Mahayuti.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his deputies Ekanth Shinde and Ajit Pawar have not yet met to sort out the allocations. The meeting is also unlikely on December 12 as Fadnavis has a busy schedule in Nagpur.
Meanwhile, the issue of seeking report cards from the minister aspirants has become a talking point in the political circle. Reports say that the names of heavyweights like Sanjay Rathod and Abdul Sattar were nixed.
