Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Expansion LIVE: 28 ministers take oath in Shivraj Singh Chouhan's government

The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led Madhya Pradesh cabinet was expanded on Thursday with some of the former Congress MLAs who joined the BJP in March acquiring ministerial berths. Sources with the Bharatiya Janata Party had earlier claimed about two dozen new ministers will be inducted. The oath of office was administered by Governor Anandiben Patel at Raj Bhawan. Patel, who is Uttar Pradesh governor, has been given additional charge as Madhya Pradesh governor in view of incumbent Lalji Tandon's hospitalisation. Patel took oath as MP Governor earlier in the day.
