The newly emerging alliance between the Shiv Sena on one hand and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Indian National Congress on the other is believed to have finalised an agreement to have a full-term Shiv Sena chief minister, with the other two parties getting a deputy chief minister each, reports India Today.
The Congress and Shiv Sena will get to appoint 14 ministers each as per this arrangement, while the NCP will have 12 ministers.
The parties are still to agree on two other contentious issues, one being a Bharat Ratna for Savarkar desired by the Shiv Sena and the second being a demand for a 5 per cent Muslim quota, pushed forth by NCP-Congress.
Although the Shiv Sena had fought the recently concluded Maharashtra elections in an alliance with the BJP, but the two parties have parted ways over the issue of selecting the new chief minister of the state.
