Don't have almanac to tell date of cabinet expansion: Uddhav

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray Friday said he neither knows when the cabinet expansion in Maharashtra will happen, nor does he have an almanac to predict its date.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his cabinet colleague Sudhir Mungantiwar had earlier announced that the cabinet would be expanded soon. There were reports that the exercise would be done on Friday.

However, there are now speculations that the expansion would now take place on Sunday, a day before the three week monsoon session of the state legislature begins.

When reporters asked Thackeray about it, he said, "I don't know when the cabinet expansion is happening. I don't have a 'panchang' (almanac)."
