After almost two weeks of deliberations and resistance from several MLAs of Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and other allies, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar was allocated the Finance portfolio in the much-awaited reshuffle in the Maharashtra cabinet on Friday, 14 July.
