Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is likely to be assigned the finance portfolio, and cabinet minister Aaditya Thackeray could get the environment and tourism portfolios in the newly formed coalition government, sources say.
Both men were sworn in with 34 others as ministers in Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's government this week. Ajit Pawar has been deputy chief minister twice this year -- his first stint was the result of a short-lived defection that briefly brought the BJP back to power.
Aaditya Thackeray, 29, is the chief minister's son.
Here's a full list that shows the portfolio allocation scenario is playing out:
