Disquiet in Shinde camp, BJP as Ajit Pawar's group joins Maharashtra government

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Hours after the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP was sworn in, the three ruling parties are at loggerheads over the allocation of ministerial berths, reshuffle of departments and power-sharing. “The Ajit Pawar camp has been demanding finance, energy, food and civil supplies, rural development, water resources, and women and child welfare,” said a senior BJP leader. Those who were to get one bhakri will now get half and those who were to get half will now get quarter.” When asked whether Shiv Sena legislators were apprehensive about Ajit getting the finance portfolio, Gogawale said he believed the BJP would do justice to the Shiv Sena. But the party leadership was convinced that the move was imperative for the Lok Sabha elections.” Another BJP leader said that the Pawar and Shinde camps were expected to get around 13 ministerial berths each, while the BJP would retain about 16 berths. “The Shinde camp may make a noise but it has lost its bargaining power after the induction of the Ajit Pawar faction,” he added.
