Mumbai

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expanded the five -month -old state cabinet. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has been included in the cabinet of Chhagan Bhujbal. He took oath today in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy CM Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar. A funny incident happened during the oath. Before the oath, everyone greeted him by giving a bouquet, but as soon as Ajit Pawar reached him, everyone started laughing.

Please tell that CM Fadnavis has expanded his 5 -month -old cabinet. In December last year, he did not get a place in the cabinet. However, he was included during the expansion on Monday. Giving information on Monday night, Bhujbal said that on Tuesday, May 20, Fadnavis will take oath of cabinet of the government. This morning he took oath of office and secrecy in the presence of Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan.

Bhujbal had already told

Giving late information on Monday, Bhujbal had said, 'He will be included in the Maharashtra cabinet headed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday. I have been informed that I will be included in the state cabinet. The swearing -in ceremony will take place at 10 am on Tuesday.
BJP confirmed

At the same time, BJP sources leading the ruling 'Mahayuti' alliance in the state confirmed this development. Bhujbal (77), the major face of other backward classes in the state, was not included in the cabinet of Chief Minister Fadnavis in December last year. Dhananjay Munde, a senior NCP leader, resigned from the post of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Minister in March, after which Bhujbal is being produced in the cabinet.
Powerful OBC leader

Chhagan Bhujbal's political stature is not hidden from anyone in Maharashtra. He is not only an MLA from Yevala, but has a strong hold between the OBC community. His supporters had been demanding for a long time to include him in the cabinet. Sources say that the coalition government has taken this step to remove their displeasure and strengthen the OBC vote bank.
Prior to civic elections

Political analysts believe that Bhujbal joining the cabinet can be strategically important for NCP and alliance. Especially, in view of the upcoming local body elections, the attempt to help the OBC community is clearly visible. In view of the experience and administrative capacity of Bhujbal, there is also a possibility of getting important departments.
