Congress demands delay Maharashtra portfolios distribution |
After NCP leader and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar`s announcement that portfolios will be declared, there is still no progress on that front following fresh demands raised by the Congress. The Congress had earlier staked claim on urban development, agriculture and transport. Now it has dropped its claim on urban development but is still insisting on industries and transport. Delay in allotting portfolios was a major embarrassment for chief minister Uddhav Thackeray as it has adversely affected the credibility of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. First there was a delay in swearing in of the chief minister, then further delay in cabinet expansion. Initially, it was declared that portfolios would be announced on the day of the cabinet expansion on the 30th of December, but there has been complete uncertainty over allotment of departments.
