Prithviraj Chavan was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on November 11, 2010.[1] The following is his cabinet. The government consisted of Chavan's Congress party and the Nationalist Congress Party.[1]
The two parties had secured a majority of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly seats in the 2009 election, and a government under Congress' Ashok Chavan (No relation to Prithviraj Chavan) was formed.[2] However, following graft allegation related to Adarsh Housing Society scam, Chavan resigned as the Chief Minister in November 2010.[3] Subsequently, Prithviraj Chavan, then a Rajya Sabha member from Maharashtra, and Minister of State for Prime Minister's Office under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, was chosen by the Congress to lead the Maharashtra government. He was sworn in on November 11, 2010, and subsequently, formed his only cabinet till date. The reasons cited for Chavan's appointment included his relatively corruption-free "clean image" and his lack of allegiance to any of the state's intra-party factions.[4][5][6]
Chavan made some changes in his predecessor's cabinet, by including some new ministers and reshuffling portfolios.[7] He also replaced Ashok Chavan's Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal[8] with Ajit Pawar, who has since served as deputy to two more Chief Ministers.
The Chavan ministry served until its defeat in the 2014 Legislative Assembly election by the BJP and Shiv Sena.
