The NCP’s Chhagan Bhujbal has been allocated irrigation, rural development, social justice, excise, skill development, and food and drug Administration.

State Congress chief Balasaheb Thorat has been given the ministries of revenue, energy, medical education, school education, animal husbandry and dairy development, and fisheries. His party colleague Nitin Raut will handle public works department, tribal welfare, women and child welfare, textile, relief and rehabilitation, and the department of Vimukta Jati, Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Class and Special Backward Class Welfare.
