Nagpur, 15th Dec. A total of 39 MLAs were inducted into the Maharashtra government on Sunday, December 15, in a ceremony held in Nagpur, just a day before the commencement of the week-long Winter Session of the state legislature. The event saw 33 ministers take the oath as Cabinet ministers, while 6 were sworn in as ministers of state.
The Cabinet includes 16 members from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), 9 from Shiv Sena, and 8 from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Among the ministers of state, the BJP holds the largest share with three MLAs, followed by Shiv Sena with two and NCP with one.
The swearing-in ceremony paves the way for finalizing power-sharing agreements within the Mahayuti alliance. One of the key points of contention between BJP and Shiv Sena—control over the Home portfolio—has been resolved, with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis retaining the position.
The results of the Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024, which delivered a landslide victory for the Mahayuti alliance with 230 out of 288 seats, have shaped the new cabinet. BJP won 132 seats, Shiv Sena secured 57 seats, and NCP bagged 41. Devendra Fadnavis assumed office as Chief Minister on December 5, with Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar appointed as his deputies.
Here is the complete party-wise list of ministers in the Maharashtra Cabinet:
