Mumbai: Aaditya Thackeray on Monday took oath as Cabinet Minister in Maharashtra government.
The 29-year-old won from the Worli Assembly constituency by defeating Suresh Mane of Nationalist Congress Party, which is now part of the alliance in Maharashtra, by a margin of over 70,000 votes.
The Yuva Sena chief became the first member from the Thackeray family to contest an election.
Besides him, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders Ajit Pawar, Nawab Malik, and senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan also took oath as ministers.
A total of 36 ministers will be inducted in Maharashtra Cabinet as part of the much-delayed expansion.
On November 28, Uddhav Thackeray took oath as Chief Minister bringing an end to weeks of political instability in the state’s politics after Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress stitched a post-poll coalition as Maha Vikas Aghadi. Six other ministers — two each from NCP, Congress, and Shiv Sena took the oath of office.
