Ashok Chavan likely to be new Maharashtra CM, New maharashtra Chief Minister may be Ashok Chavan


tHE NAME OF Ashok Chavan, industries minister OF Maharashtra, is being speculated to be among front-runners for the post of Chief Minister of maharashtra. The replacement of Vilasrao Deshmukh is being looked out following mounting pressure on the Congress to sack him in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks.

The discussions regarding the replacement of Vilasrao deshmukh began on Monday afternoon. Ashok Chavan may be considered a strong contender if the party wants to put a Maratha face.

Besides Asok Chavan, there were other candidates too whose names came up for consideration. The chief among them were that of power minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and Prithviraj Chavan, the minister of state in the PMO.

Prithviraj Chavan may not stand a solid chance as his candidature the NCP may not approve his name for the post of Chief Ministership.
