The Uddhav Thackeray led Maharashtra government on Sunday announced the list of portfolios given to the ministers after Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari approved the list sent by the Chief Minister. 

This comes a week after 36 new ministers were sworn in on December 30 as Thackeray expanded the council of ministers of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. The allocation of portfolios became a bone of contention among the MVA partners the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress. 

NCP's Ajit Pawar, who joined hands with former CM Devendra Fadnavis and became the deputy CM for a short duration, was given the Finance Ministry while NCP leader Anil Deshmukh pocketed the Home Ministry.

Aaditya Thackeray, a first time MLA and son of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, was handed over the Tourism and Environment portfolios.

The Urban Development Ministry has been given to Eknath Shinde of the Shiv Sena. Ministry of Industry and Mining has been allocated to veteran Shiv Sena leader and Uddhav's close aide Subhash Desai. 

Maharashtra Congress president Balasaheb Thorat has been handed over Revenue Ministry and former chief minister Ashok Chavan will take charge as PWD Minister. Another Congress leader Nitin Raut will look after the Power Ministry.
