changing CM in Maharashtra will make any difference ?

Will changing CM in Maharashtra will make any difference ? I sincerely doubt that. As we have seen similar changes at state helm earlier too but then too the ground realities remained (read corruption) unaltered. I do not expect much from Mr.Pritiviraj Chavan as well, even if he is an honest and capable politician. My assessment of the situation is that the politics in Maharashtra is so glamourously lucrative that it spoils even the best in team.


The other abjure is that, it will surely initiate & consolidate another power camp (this time of Prthiviraj Chavan) within the ruling congress, to make things more worrisome for the congress & suffocating for the state partymen,the biggest threat to Prthiviraj is not from BJP or the Shiv Sena but from the Congress, within. His tenure will be a “litmus Test” of his skills be it his patience, reasoning or governance and as to how he would manage the internal rivalry and external alliance to keep himself afloat as CM.

Although National leadership has tried to contain groupism within organization by announcing a name not from state political arena, but then there is other side of the story that is, the current CM is an outsider hence will remain weak comparatively to the other local politicians of the state. Another, hurdle he faces will be as to how he would accommodate the former Dpty CM Bhujbal, who remains one of the most powerful politician, without antagonizing Ajit Pawar, the nephew of Sharad Pawar, and Dpty CM designate.

Whatever the outcome I feel things will not be easy and smooth for CM to be, Mr.Prtiviraj Chavan, and his maiden experience as CM will certainly be a bumpy one, if not disappointing and corrupt. But then whatever the results of his encounter with power( and Pawar's) will be, I only pray that this be the last change of guard till next legislative elections as this will at least save some unnecessary expenditure on state exchequers pocket....
