Shah, Uddhav will finalise power sharing formula in Maha:Patil

Amid bickering between his party and the Shiv Sena over sharing of power in the next Maharashtra government, senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil on Tuesday said party chief Amit Shah and his Sena counterpart Uddhav Thackeray will finalise the contours of the "50:50 formula".

According to sources in the BJP, the discussion and agreement reached with the Sena on formalising the alliance ahead of the Lok Sabha elections this year, was on "equitable distribution of power and not on the post of the chief minister."
When asked about the Sena's demand for equal distribution of ministerial posts, Patil said, "The final 50:50 formula will be decided by our national president Amit Shah and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray."
