Uddhav Thackeray has got law and order along with general administration

Mumbai:

The new Maharashtra government's list of portfolios for ministers was approved today by the state's governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. This comes after the allocation of portfolios was delayed by a month since the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress formed government in the state. While Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party was the biggest winner with most of the state's key cabinet berths, many leaders are apparently unhappy with their portfolios.

Here is the full list of portfolios allocated in Maharashtra:

The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government had been facing criticism from the opposition BJP for delay in allocating portfolios despite being in power for over a month. Sources said the delay in finalisation and announcement of porfolios was mainly due to the difficulty of assigning districts to individual ministers for special care.
