This was the second expansion of the MP Cabinet. Of these, 20 were appointed as cabinet ministers while 8 were ministers of state.
The new ministers were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Anandiben Patel at the Raj Bhawan in Bhopal in the presence of Chief Minister Shivraj and many other senior leaders and central ministers.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had earlier inducted five ministers to the Cabinet in the month of April.
