Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday expanded his Cabinet by inducting 29 more ministers, including 19 of Cabinet rank, taking the ministry's strength to 40.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Raj Bhavan here where Governor K Sankaranarayanan administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new ministers.
Last week, nine NCP ministers had taken oath along with Chief Minister Chavan and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar.
Of the total 19 cabinet ministers sworn in today, 14 are from Congress and five from NCP.
Of these, only Varsha Gaikwad and Padmakar Valvi, who were junior ministers in the earlier Ashok Chavan-led government, were promoted to the cabinet rank. Deputy Speaker of state Legislative Assembly Madhukar Chavan and Sanjay Deotale (Congress) are the new faces.
Ten Ministers of State (MOS) were sworn in today of which five were from Congress including four newcomers -- Satej Patil, Rajendra Mulak, Rajendra Gavit and Dattatreya Sawant
