High Command will decide on chief ministership: Chavan

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan on Thursday said the Congress leadership would decide who would be the new Chief Minister of the state.

"I leave to the party and Congress president Sonia Gandhi to take a decision (on the issue of chief ministership)," Chavan said.
