Sharad Pawar's Party Wins Big In Portfolios, Home Ministry Likely Too | Read

Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party -- which played a key role in bringing together the ideologically disparate Shiv Sena and the Congress and helped government formation in Maharashtra -- is set to emerge as the biggest winner with most of the state's key cabinet berths. The party is expected to get the home, finance, irrigation and housing ministries. The post of the deputy Chief Minister also belongs to the party. In terms of numbers too, they have the edge over the Shiv Sena, with 16 berths compared to the Sena's 15.
