Out of the 42 Ministers in the new Maharashtra Cabinet, 41 are crorepatis, with an average annual income of ₹21.95 crore, according to a report from the Association of Democratic Reforms.

The report analysed the criminal and financial backgrounds among other details of Ministers in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.
