Before the commencement of August 15th, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis are resolved to expand their cabinet and welcome new members. Ever since the resignation of former CM Uddhav Thakeray due to internal Shiv Sena disputes, the two ministers have been working as a duo, which was mocked by NCP leader Ajit Pawar. Fadnavis slams Pawar by reminding his days of a 5-member run cabinet.
