Prithviraj Chavan was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on November 11, 2010. The following is his cabinet. The government consisted of Chavan's Congress party and the Nationalist Congress Party. Chavan made some changes in his predecessor's cabinet, by including some new ministers and reshuffling portfolios. He also replaced Ashok Chavan's Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal with Ajit Pawar, who has since served as deputy to two more Chief Ministers. The Chavan ministry served until its defeat in the 2014 Legislative Assembly election by the BJP and Shiv Sena.
