Chary Chavan
cm’s being ultra careful!
THE Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Prithviraj Chavan, is being wary to the point of diffidence. Like Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he is toeing the compulsions of coalitions! Chavan has been facing major problems with Ajit Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister and leader of coalition partner Nationalist Congress Party. Pawar is rash, rustic and a man in a hurry. He proposes bluntly, issues threats and is intolerant of opponents.
But Chavan is in a difficult position because he does not have his supporters in the State legislature as he has been appointed by the Congress high command. As a result, even tainted politicians of Maharashtra such as Narayan Rane, Chhagan Bhujbal, Ashok Chavan and Vilasrao Deshmukh care little for him. Bureaucrats flout authority openly. Murli Deora, Kripashankar Singh and Gurudas Kamat are forever giving him unsolicited advice. Worst of all, Chavan is not easily accessible to the most important tribe in the state – “amdar”. If its members land up at Mantralaya, they are met with a routine reply from Chavan’s staff to make an appointment first. The CM’s extreme caution has his bosses in Delhi rather worried!
