The Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress government finalised thecommon agenda to form government in Maharashtra.

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Congress and Shiv Sena are scheduled to meet Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at 4:30 pm on Saturday to discuss farmers distress and administration collapse.

The meeting comes a day after the NCP, Congress and Shiv Sena agreed on an alliance to form the government in Maharashtra. According to sources, the Shiv Sena will get a full-term chief minister in a prospective coalition government with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress.

The Congress and the NCP will get to appoint one deputy chief minister each from their ranks. The Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress will get 14, 14, and 12 ministers, respectively.

Breaking the long-standing deadlock in Maharashtra, the three parties finalised a common minimum programme which will focus on farmer and youth issues, with no mention of Hindutva-related issues.

President's Rule was imposed in Maharashtra on Tuesday after the Governor informed the Centre that a stable government couldn't be formed in the prevailing situation despite his efforts.

The BJP and the Shiv Sena won a combined majority in last month's assembly election, but couldn't see eye to eye on the idea that the chief minister's job should be subject to a rotational policy.

The impasse continued when individual parties were invited to try and form administrations, and President's Rule was imposed.
