Ashok Chavan may be asked to quit as Maharashtra CM
In the wake of the national media exposure given to the Adarsh Society scam, Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan is almost certainly counting his last days in office, he might be given a face-saving and honourable exit.
IN THE wake of the national uproar and consequent media attention being given to the Adarsh Society scam, Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan is almost certainly counting his last days in office, and according to sources in the Congress party, he will be given a face-saving and honourable exit.
Sources said that Congress president Sonia Gandhi did not immediately meet Chavan on his arrival in New Delhi. She first had meetings with her political secretary Ahmed Patel, Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh and Minister of State for Science Technology Prithviraj Chavan at her 10, Janpath residence.
Thereafter, Patel is said to have had a meeting with Ashok Chavan at his residence, where he was told what had transpired in the early morning meeting with Gandhi. Patel is said to have told Chavan that it would be prudent for him to offer his resignation to the Congress president, as all avenues to save him from the sack were closed.
Rumour mills are reportedly agog with speculation that a decision could be taken by the Congress leadership within the next ten days. Speculation is rife, though unconfirmed, that Minister of State for Science and Technology and the Prime Minister’s Office, Prithviraj Chavan, is one of the frontrunners for replacing Ashok Chavan at Mantralaya. The other person in the running is Mukul Wasnik.
Earlier, Ashok Chavan was summoned to meet Gandhi in connection with the controversial Adarsh Housing Society project.
The 31-storey high-rise in Colaba has become a catchment area for a massive political controversy.
Former army chiefs, politicians and bureaucrats have all been allotted flats here for a fraction of the market rate. As of now, some of these members have decided to return their allotments.

its highly appreciable that congress had been firm on its decision and asked ashok chavan to quit.But the multi million question now is who's next? Is there anyone in congress who could come out in public and say that he is untouched with any such activitiy.Sorry but not only congress none of our political party might be having any such leader who would fit in the shoe.with due respect to a few like, atalji, manmohan singji and a few others.
