After the success of the Congress-NCP alliance in winning enough seats to form the government on its own, Chief Minister Ashok Chavan remains the frontrunner for the post for a second term even though Narayan Rane, Vilasrao Deshmukh and Sushilkumar Shinde are considered contenders by some sections of the party.
Shinde and Deshmukh have, in fact, said that they would not like to return to Maharashtra and were happy in Delhi as Union ministers but that has not deterred their supporters from nursing ambitions of seeing them back in Mumbai.
Rane, who was the chief minister for nine months in 1999 during the Shiv Sena-BJP regime, has for long harboured ambitions of occupying the chief minister’s chair. When he crossed over from the Sena to the Congress in 2005 and engineered defections of seven Sena MLAs (six of whom were re-elected on Congress tickets), he had claimed that the high command had promised to make him the chief minister in six months
