Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will expand his two-member ministry on Tuesday, 41 days after he took oath as the CM.
On June 30, Shinde was sworn in as the chief minister and Devendra Fadnavis took oath as deputy CM.
Shinde told reporters in Nanded on Monday that the ministry expansion is slated for Tuesday.
The ceremony will be held at the Raj Bhavan in south Mumbai at 11 am, an aide of Shinde told.
The next round of expansion would take place later, he added.
Shinde, who emerged as a surprise choice for the top post after managing to take a major chunk of Shiv Sena MLAs with him following the rebellion in June, will have a difficult task to accommodate all of them in the ministry, sources said.
