Nine of the 14 Shiv Sena leaders, who were in the previous cabinet led by BJP's Devendra Fadnavis, were not given any ministerial berths on Monday. The old guns of Shiv Sena are reportedly upset at being ignored by the Uddhav Thackeray government.

Those who were left out of the new ministry include senior leaders and Sena loyalists Ramdas Kadam, Diwakar Raote and Ravindra Waikar. In the previous government, Kadam was the environment minister, Raote the transport minister and Waikar the technical education minister. Jaydutt Kshirsagar, Tanaji Sawant, Vijay Shivtare, Deepak Kesarkar, Deepak Sawant and Arjun Khotkar are the other Sena leaders who have been left out of the state cabinet.
