As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) prepares to stake claim to form the next government, the constituent parties have listed their demands that range from berths in the Council of Ministers to the agenda of the upcoming government.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Janata Dal-United (JD-U) have sought the lion's share of ministerial berths among the non-BJP members of the NDA, as reported by Firstpost.

As the BJP has failed to secure a majority of its own, the TDP of N Chandrababu Naidu and JD (U) of Nitish Kumar have emerged as kingmakers as their 16 and 12 seats are a must for the formation of the new government. This has placed them in a position to demand plum posts.

Of the 292 seats of the NDA, the BJP has 240, the TDP 16, the JD (U) 12, the Shiv Sena seven, and Lok Janshakti Party-Ramvilas (LJP-Ramvilas) five.

Here are the demands of the various NDA members, as reported.

TDP demands Health, IT & Education ministries.

Additionally, the TDP has also demanded the post of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Moreover, the TDP has also demanded a special economic package for Andhra Pradesh and funds for the development of Amravati as the state's capital.

The JD (U) demands 3 ministries, say in govt's agenda

It is understood that the JD (U) has demanded at least three ministerial berths. The demands included the railways, agricultural industries, and rural development ministries.

Moreover, the JD (U) has also demanded that the NDA government should have a minimum common programme.

Shiv Sena & LJP (Ramvilas) also want Cabinet berths

It is understood that the Shiv Sena has laid claim to at least three Cabinet berths and has also sought two ministers of state.

The Shiv Sena has seven MPs.
