The expansion of the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government is likely to take place around June 2, said Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena leader Bharat Gogawale.
He also expressed confidence of getting a berth in the ministry himself in the Maharashtra cabinet expansion.
Ahead of the Maharashtra cabinet expansion, Education minister Deepak Kesarkar said the current ministers would get relief if new members are inducted, as it becomes very difficult, with the present strength, to handle the two houses of the legislature during a session.

Pratap Sarnaik, another Sena MLA, also told reporters that a cabinet expansion will take place soon as "all the roadblocks are now cleared."
For those unversed, after the split in the then Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena following a rebellion by Shinde last year, the Election Commission in February 2023 recognised the faction headed by Shinde as the real Shiv Sena. The Thackeray group is now known as the Shiv Sena (UBT).
