Maharashtra Cabinet Full List: Thirty-nine MLAs were inducted into the Maharashtra cabinet on Sunday (December 15), including state Bharatiya Janata Party chief Chandrasekhar Bawankule. The oath-taking ceremony took place in Nagpur, a day before the commencement of the week-long Winter Session of the state legislature on December 16.
With the swearing-in, power sharing agreements between the Mahayuti alliance are expected to be finalised soon. The Home portfolio, which was a major point of contention between the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena, will be retained by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

While the BJP won 132 seats, the Shiv Sena secured 57 seats, and the NCP got 41 seats.
