A Shiv Sena leader said the Sena is the second largest party with 57 seats in the Mahayuti, so the second biggest share of ministries should be given to them. However, NCP leader and former minister Chhagan Bhujbal said the NCP and Shiv Sena should get the same number of ministries. Bhujbal said the Shiv Sena and NCP had an equal number of MLAs in the previous government, yet the Sena had the upper hand in the government, even getting the CM post. “Now, the power sharing has to be changed and the NCP should get the same number of ministries as the Sena. We also want an honorable and respectable deal in the ministry,” said Bhujbal.Senior BJP leaders said they are very happy that they got a massive mandate, but it’s also a headache to pacify everyone in such a situation. “In the previous government, some were asked to wait. Now, they are asking for a ministry. We have to take into account regional, caste and seniority factors while forming the ministry. It’s a tough task for the Mahayuti leaders,” said a BJP leader, requesting anonymity.
