Eknath Shinde Gets 3 Maharashtra Ministries, But Not Home

Days after the Maharashtra oath ceremony, the cabinet portfolios were announced Saturday, with Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Chief Minister in the last government, landing three ministries - Urban Development, Housing and Public Works - but not the Home portfolio, which he was reportedly keen on.

Ajit Pawar, the second Deputy Chief Minister, was assigned the key Finance Ministry portfolio. 

Chief Minister Devenrda Fadnavis kept the Home, Energy and Law Ministries.
