Chhagan Bhujbal will be Maharashtra Deputy CM

Senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal will be the new Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Bhujbal will also look after the Home department, party sources said.

Bhujbal replaces R R Patil who resigned from his post in the aftermath of the terror attacks in Mumbai last week.

Bhujbal was in charge of the same portfolio in the previous Congress-Nationalist Congress Party government in the state.
