Chhagan Bhujbal is the new Deputy Chief Minister in mumbai

After the Mumbai attack, all these ministers have been resigning. SO there is more change in the whole administration of India and Mumbai. Maharashtra Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar today announced the name of Chhagan Bhujbal as the next Deputy Chief Minister of the state. Bhujbal, besides taking charge of Deputy CM’s post will have an additional responsibility of Home Ministry.His appointment comes five days after R R Patil resigned as Deputy Chief Minister, owning moral responsibility for last week’s terror attacks in Mumbai, which left around 200 people dead. Bhujbal currently holds the Public Works Department portfolio and is widely known in political circles as being a tough task master.Still the post of Chief Minister for Maharashtra is to be decided and Ashok Chavan apparently has an edge over Narayan Rane in the leadership tussle.Senior Congress leaders Pranab Mukherjee and A K Antony had a meeting with Gandhi this morning and indicated that there could be a decision in the evening.
