Vidyasagar Rao, and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday, giving rise to the possibility of a cabinet expansion on Sunday. “Met Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at his residence Matoshri and had detailed discussion regarding cabinet expansion,” tweeted Mr. Fadnavis late on Friday night. He met Mr. Rao earlier in the day. With just four months to go for Assembly elections both BJP and Sena are keen to give an opportunity to new faces in the cabinet. Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, who quit the party and resigned as MLA to join the BJP, is likely to be inducted in the cabinet.
