NCP has broadly agreed on power sharing in Maharashtra: Patel
New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI)

NCP has ''broadly agreed'' with ally Congress on power sharing in Maharashtra and a new government would be in place in the state shortly, party leader Praful Patel said.

NCP leader RR Patil and Chagan Bhujbal comes out of Party Supremo Sharad Pawar's residence after a party meeting over formation of government in Maharashtra, in New Delhi on Wednesday. PTI"We have broadly agreed on most of the issues," the NCP General Secretary told reporters last night.

The top NCP leadership held a meeting with party chief Sharad Pawar here last evening which was attended by Ajit Pawar, Chhagan Bhujbal, R R Patil and Jayant Patil.

Patel, who was present for the meeting, left midway and held discussions with his Congress interlocutor Ahmad Patel.He later drove back to Pawar's residence and briefed NCP leaders about the deliberations.

Patel said that he had conveyed the NCP stand to Congress which is likely to be discussed with Defence Minister A K Antony, who is also incharge of Congress affairs in Maharashtra.
"I am confident that all the issues with the Congress would be sorted out,"  Patel said.

Meanwhile, highly placed sources said that 20 ministers each of NCP and Congress are expected to take oath along with Chief Minister Ashok Chavan and Bhujbal.

The Maharashtra election results were declared on October 22 in which the Congress-NCP was voted back to power for a third consecutive term.

Sir, Its a great day that some agreement is reached and Governor seems to be waiting endlessly. Politics is the art of selfishness in the guise of general good of all we can at no point tell politicians that they owe the public a responsibility! If the Governor and the party demanding power with what ever equation is in place they can take the state for a ride! This is what is proved in Maharashtra. In most such cases when the party demanding power is opposed to Congress(I) then the assembly goes in suspended animation!
