Congress to replace Prithviraj Chavan with Sushilkumar Shinde as Maharashtra CM?

The Congress may replace the current Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan with former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde.

According to the reports, the party leadership is considering Chavan replacement after MLAs have put huge pressure on the party following it’s pathetic performance in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Congress only managed to get 2 seats from Maharashtra.

Congress high command fears that Congress may face rout in the upcoming assembly polls if they go to the polls under the leadership of Prithviraj Chavan by end of this year. Sources are telling that the high command is unhappy with Chavan’s style of working.

Congress’s Dalit face and Gandhi family loyalist Sushilkumar Shinde on the other hand enjoys party high command’s trust. He is likely to get the post of chief minister in a few days. After losing the Lok Sabha polls from Solapur seat, this news is a breather to Shinde. He is a close friend of NCP leader Sharad Power and NCP too is keen to name Shinde as the CM.

Meanwhile the news are coming that Congress will also go ahead with changing chief ministers in Assam and Haryana.
