DC Edit | Maha Cabinet: Work in progress

Deccan Chronicle  

After running a government with a two-member Cabinet for 40 days, Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde has finally inducted 18 more members in his council of ministers. As per the Article 164 of the Constitution, members in a state’s council of ministers shall not exceed 15 per cent of the total number of members of the legislative Assembly. Another minister, Sanjay Rathod, had to resign from the Uddhav Thackeray cabinet in February 2021 because of the BJP’s pressure after his name got embroiled in the TikTok star Pooja Chavan’s suicide case. It appears the Maharashtra chief minister and his new political gurus from the BJP are being overcautious because an unfavourable order by the SC will put them in an embarrassing situation.
