Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadvavis retained the House Ministry as portfolio allocations had been introduced on Saturday night. Deputy Chief Minister was allotted the Finance division whereas Eknath Shinde bought the City Growth portfolio. Mahayuti leaders had met on Friday to debate the matter and later held a breakfast assembly with the CM on Saturday.
