Fadnavis will expand his cabinet next week as the BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP have yet to reach a consensus on sharing the number of cabinet berths among themselves and also the allocation of ministries
Fadnavis’ name was proposed by former Ministers Chandrakant Patil and Sudhir Mungantiwar and it was seconded by a host of legislators, including the Mumbai unit chief Ashish Shelar
Sources said with the Supreme Court clearing the nomination of the two under Governor's quota to the Telangana Legislative Council, the Chief Minister wanted them to take oath without losing any time.
