He attributed the delay to CM Eknath Shinde and Dy CM Devendra Fadnavis leaving for Nagpur to welcome President Murmu who is reaching there later in the evening.

We all have decided to work together. There is no question of disgruntlement, he said, when asked if some members in the Shinde group are unhappy over his inclusion in the ministry.
