Maha CM abruptly cancels Delhi trip, Governor in national capital

Mumbai, July 28 (UNI) Amid the political suspense in Maharashtra over the cabinet expansion and the upcoming Supreme Court verdict on August 1, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari reached New Delhi for a 2-day visit on Thursday. Koshyari’s visit – details of which are not yet known – comes a day after Chief Minister Eknath Shinde abruptly canceled his New Delhi trip late on Wednesday. However, Shinde has reiterated that the much-delayed cabinet expansion “will happen very soon” though he did not specify any date for the same. The opposition Nationalist Congress Party-Con- egress Shiv Sena lashed out at the 29-day-old Bharatiya Janata Party-propped Shinde government which took off on June 30 for the repeated postponement of the cabinet formation. Shiv Sena chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut has predicted that “there will be a change of government soon in the state”, referring to the apex court hearing on the disqualification proceedings against 15 rebel Sena MLAs including Shinde.
