Charge for Maharashtra’s women and children welfare ministry went to Congress leader Yashomati Thakur while her party colleague Varsha Gaikwad was given school education.

On December 31, 36 leaders of the Shiv Sena, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party were sworn in as Cabinet ministers, taking the total strength of the Cabinet to the maximum of 43.

The Shiv Sena had admitted on Thursday of a tussle between the NCP, the Congress, and some of its leaders over key Cabinet berths. In an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana, the party said some MLAs could not be inducted because the “list of probables” was huge.
