New Delhi, October 25: Going for status quo, Congress has named Ashok Chavan and Bhupinder Singh Hooda as leaders of its legislature parties in Maharashtra and Haryana, clearing the decks for their return as Chief Ministers even as Arunachal strongman Dorjee Khandu was today sworn in for a second consecutive term in the state’s top post.
Chavan and Hooda were chosen to head the CLPs in their respective states well past midnight last night by Congress President Sonia Gandhi after she held several rounds of consultations with senior party leaders who as central observers had interacted with the newly-elected party MLAs in the last two days on the leadership issue.
