Twelve days after six ministers took oath with Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, none have been allocated any work. The cabinet expansion is also pending because the three coalition partners can’t agree on distribution of portfolios. Thackeray has started his administrative innings on a wrong note. People of Maharashtra deserve better.

Coalition of 3 parties with common minimum programme is a bold step. However all the ongoing project works should not be stopped. Continuity should be maintained. Government should review and upgrade if required or some shortfall may be pointed out with the help of experts and may rectify to improve.
Mr.Uddhav Thackeray did a grave mistake of joining the coalition government with three parties,by setting aside the ideological difference with NCP and Congress Party. With the past experience of tying with Sharad Pawar who is not to be trusted, and he will dominate, make Mr.Uddhav Thackeray to surrender to his demands in exploiting to get the important portfolios and he will throw you out when once his work is finished. He made a biggest mistake of his life and he will repent in future,.
The present coalition govt in Maharashtra is in tune with peoples choice and should be allowed to complete .Going to hastings every now and then means financial burden on tax payers Uddhav Thackeray should be a leader to grow into a secular mode.
Uddhav Thackeray have disrespect to his father for power, this is sin and he have to pay price for it
Maharashtra deserves another election not a kichdi coalition.
Perhaps we should be a little patient, although the government itself was formed more than a month after the votes were counted. The allocation agreed to by the SS and the BJP in 1995 was found rational enough to be followed by the Congress and the NCP between 1999 and 2014. Now, with three partners, two almost on par, some major changes will have to be negotiated. Along with Cabinet portfolios, positions in important corporations. For the NCP to give up its claim for a rotational CMship shows maturity and understanding. Karnataka next door should serve as a cautionary tale.
