Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will expand his Cabinet tomorrow.
The 20-month-old Fadnavis government will fill up portfolios rendered vacant after the resignation of senior minister Eknath Khadse over corruption charges last month.
The 10 portfolios handled by him are temporarily with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
"The Cabinet expansion will be held tomorrow," a senior government official told news agency PTI this morning.
The expansion comes ahead of the Monsoon session starting on July 18 and two days before Mr Fadnavis begins his four-day Russia visit on July 10.
The Fadnavis government, which has 19 Cabinet ministers and 10 Ministers of State, has 14 more berths to fill. It is not known if all berths will be filled tomorrow.
