At the same time, there were reports of NCP's Jayant Patil being made the Home Minister along with the Deputy Chief Minister but he got the Finance Ministry.
As per the provisional agreement, there was speculation that Shiv Sena with 56 MLAs would get 10 portfolios, NCP with 54 MLAs as 7 ministers and one Deputy Chief Minister. It is believed that Congress has 44 MLAs and can be given 6 ministerial posts along with the speaker. A partnership in the portfolio is being decided keeping in mind the political needs and wishes of each party in the alliance.
