Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal has stated that ministers from the Mahayuti allies in Maharashtra will be sworn in within a week. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Bhujbal highlighted that following the swearing-in of the chief minister and two deputy chief ministers, discussions regarding the cabinet's composition will take place, leading to the ministry's final formation.

Ajit Pawar, the NCP leader, is set to take oath as the deputy chief minister for a record sixth time during the ceremony scheduled for Thursday evening. According to Bhujbal, Pawar's previous experience with the finance portfolio in the outgoing government makes him well-equipped to manage the department again. “Ajit Pawar has an excellent understanding of the finance department, and his leadership will strengthen the new administration,” Bhujbal remarked, as per PTI reports.
