Opposition alliance takes potshots at Eknath Shinde, Ajit Pawar over ministerial berths

On Monday, leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi opposition alliance criticized Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar for their limited representation in PM Narendra Modi's new Union ministry. Prataprao Jadhav from Shinde's Shiv Sena was sworn in as MoS with independent charge, while Ajit Pawar's NCP declined an MoS berth, demanding a cabinet post instead.
