| Maharashtra: NCP Ministers' reshuffle likely on June 11 | | |
Mumbai, June 10 : The reshuffle of NCP ministers in the Maharashtra government is expected to take place tomorrow.
Party sources said resignations of the ministers, which are being received by Union Agriculture Minister and NCP president Sharad Pawar, are likely to be forwarded to the Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan in the evening, who will then forward them to the Governor. The swearing-in of new ministers may take place tomorrow. In a surprise move on Friday night, Pawar asked all the 20 ministers of his party to submit resignations, in an exercise apparently aimed at image make-over ahead of the 2014 elections. The party has indicated that new faces will be inducted. Senior NCP leader and Union Minister Praful Patel told reporters on Saturday that the state unit president Madhukar Pichad would be inducted as minister and another person would replace him in his organisational post. Officials said the swearing-in may take place at 11.30 AM at Raj Bhavan tomorrow. Meanwhile, NCP sources said the meeting of the extended working committee of the state NCP will take place on June 15. The meeting will be chaired by Sharad Pawar, they said.
Political and organisational situation would be discussed at the meeting.
The new state unit president will also be announced on June 15. Pichad would carry on as state NCP chief till then though he is likely to be made minister tomorrow. |
