The incumbent Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan led his Congress party and alliance partner NCP to an electoral majority in the 2009 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election.[1][2] He subsequently formed his second cabinet. Chavan had been the Chief Minister since 8 December 2008, and would continue to serve until 9 November 2010, when he resigned at the backdrop of corruption allegations.[3]

The cabinet consisted of 23 ministers, including Chavan and his Deputy, Chhagan Bhujbal.[4]
