Nagpur: The much-awaited cabinet expansion of the MahaYuti government in Maharashtra is finally set to take place. The swearing-in ceremony for the new ministers will be held on December 15 at 4 PM in Nagpur.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had previously announced that the cabinet expansion would be completed before December 16. Staying true to his promise, the ceremony will be conducted a day before the commencement of the Winter Session of the Maharashtra Assembly, which begins on December 16 in Nagpur.

With this swearing-in ceremony, the coalition government is set to move forward with its full-strength leadership team.
