Mumbai, Jul 8 (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expanded his council of ministers on Friday, inducting 11 ministers, including 10 new faces, but left partner Shiv Sena unhappy as it was not given a Cabinet berth.

Unlike in the Union Cabinet reshuffle, where Shiv Sena was ignored, Fadnavis inducted two legislators from the bickering ally as Ministers of State.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, however, did not oblige the demand for a Cabinet berth from the Sena, and the Sena's chief Uddhav Thackeray stayed away from the swearing-in ceremony.

Six legislators were sworn in as Cabinet ministers, including Ram Shinde, who was elevated to the rank. He was earlier Minister of State for Home (rural).

Sena MLAs Arjun Khotkar, from Jalna in Marathwada region, and Gulabrao Patil, from Jalgaon in north Maharashtra, were inducted in the ministry as junior ministers.

Patil hails from former BJP minister Eknath Khadse's home turf Jalgaon, while Khotkar belongs to Jalna, the native district of state BJP president Raosaheb Danve.

BJP's pre-poll alliance partners Swabhimani Party and Rashtriya Samaj Party (RSP) also found berths with the swearing-in of Sadabhau Khot and Mahadev Jankar, respectively. Jankar took oath as Cabinet minister.

The BJP legislators sworn in as Cabinet ministers include former state party president Pandurang Fundkar, Dondaicha (Dhule) MLA Jaykumar Rawal, Sambhaji Patil Nilangekar from Nilanga and Solapur MLA Subhash Deshmukh.

BJP legislators Ravindra Chavan and Madan Yerawar were sworn in as Ministers of State.

The other five, including two of Shiv Sena, two of BJP and one of another alliance partner, were sworn-in as MoS.
