The Supreme Court hearing on the competing petitions filed by the Shiv Sena factions has nothing to do with the delay in the expansion of the Eknath Shinde Ministry in Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said in Mumbai on Wednesday.
After the court posted the hearing on the petitions filed by the Uddhav Thackeray and Shinde factions to August 1, both leaders expressed satisfaction with the legal proceedings.
Asked about the delay in appointing new Ministers, Mr. Fadnavis said the Ministry would be expanded soon. “It was held up by the Presidential election and many other issues,” he said.
