Mumbai: The Shiv Sena boycotted the expansion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union Council of Ministers at the Rashtrapati Bhawan here on Sunday.

According to reports, the Shiv Sena was reportedly unhappy over its leader Anil Desai being offered the rank of Minister of State instead of a full Cabinet rank post.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has since asked Desai to return to Mumbai from the national capital.

The Shiv Sena leadership also reportedly expressed its objection to Suresh Prabhu being inducted in the Union Cabinet as part of BJP’s quota as Cabinet Minister.

The Shiv Sena had earlier broken its alliance with the BJP in Maharashtra prior to the assembly polls.

As many as 22 new faces are expected to be inducted into the Union Council of Ministers
