Following Maharashtra Chief Minister, Ashok Chavan's submission of
resignation to the Governor on Tuesday , speculations are rife over
his successor. Names of Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Balasaheb
Thorat, Union Ministers Prithviraj Chavan and Mukul Vasnik as well as
Vilasrao Deshmukh related stories
Acceptance of resignation does not prove guilt: Chavan
are in the reckoning, Congress sources said.

In case the high command vetoes Vilasrao's candidature as his name
also figured in the scam, he is all set to back Thorat, who enjoys a
clean image in the state politics, sources said.

Thorat has been an MLA since 1985, a cabinet minister for last 11
years, a staunch loyalist of Congress and Gandhi family and a leading
figure in state co-operative movement.

Vasnik, senior Congress leader from Vidarbha region, has credentials
of being a Gandhi family loyalist and confidante, a Dalit, and also an
organisation man with a clean image, they said.

Congress observers including A K Antony will be reaching Mumbai in the
afternoon and will meet party legislators to gauge their opinions on
the new CLP leader.

Names of Prithviraj Chavan, known as a staunch opponent of NCP chief
Sharad Pawar in western Maharashtra, and Union Minister Sushilkumar
Shinde who is a Dalit, are also being discussed.
