BJP 22, Sena 12: What Maharashtra Power Share Formula May Look Like | Read
Two days ahead of the oath ceremony of the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra, the ruling alliance is yet to announce the name of the incumbent. Sources, though, say a formula has been arrived at for the division of ministerial berths.
Sources said power sharing will be based on a 6-1 formula -- meaning one ministerial post will be given for every six MLAs a party has.
Under the formula, as expected, the BJP, which won a whopping 132 seats, will also have the maximum number of ministerial posts. Its two allies -- Shiv Sena of Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party faction have also struck a profitable deal.
