Hectic parleys were on between the two parties to reach a consensus over sharing of portfolios, as each party has stake claim to some portfolios which the other doesn't want to part with.
"An agreement between Congress and NCP on allocation of portfolios is likely to be finalised by evening," NCP sources said.
The swearing of the new ministry is likely any time as per 'muhurat', the sources said.
The result of elections to the 288 member Maharashtra assembly was declared on October 22 but the new ministry is yet to be sworn in owing to differences between the two parties on portfolio allocation.
While Congress wants more portfolios as it has got 20 seats more than NCP, the latter has announced that it would prefer the 1999 formula for allocation of ministry.
Congress won 82 seats in the elections while Sharad Pawar's NCP bagged 62 as against 69 and 71 respectively in the last election.
Governor S C Jamir called caretaker Chief Minister Ashok Chavan and Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal separately for talks on Tuesday to discuss the issue of delay in government formation.

THIS IS NOT A TUSSLE FOR POWER SHARING BUT TUSSLE FOR WHO WOULD MILK THE PEOPLE MORE BY GARNERING LUCRATIVE PORTFORLIOS. THIS IS A SHAMEFUL EXAMPLE OF THE POLITICIANS FLEECING THE AAM AADMI AND TAKING THE PEOPLE FOR A RIDE!
Niranajan, many of us agree with you, but what we fail to understand is :Who are the morons who voted for these criminals who don the white caps?
In a country where a democracy is a farce, thanks to illiteracy; poverty; divide on caste, religion lines; corruption; sycophancy, this sort of news is not uncommon. Once election is over, who bothers about country and Aam Adami. As you vote, so you deserve.
What you have got to say about confirmed reports from Karnataka that the BJP under Yeddy is warming up to embrace JDS once again. Maharasthara is much better than what is happening in Karnataka where democracy has been reduced to rubbles and peoples faith shaken by the height of opportunism and dishonesty embodified.
IF THE PARTIES COULD NOT FIND A SOLUTION SO FAR LET US SUGGEST A SOLUTION. AS INC HAS THE CM POST LET NCP TO CHOOSE A PORTFOLIO FIRST, THEN THE SECOND WOULD BE PICKED BY INC. THE THIRD BY NCP, FOURTH BY INC AND SO ON UNTILL ALL THE SPOILS ARE CONSUMED.
what an idea sir ji, on this post comment section, very first time I have seen a very unique, an intelligent and an excellent idea on power sharing. Really it is a tremendous idea to be adopted to put an end the stalmate on power sharing. CONGRATS
ALL RELATED TO NEGOTING CORRUPTION BETWEEN NCP AND INC......AND NOTHING MORE THAN THAT!
