Chavan was twice Chief Minister of Maharashtra and, in his last term in the mid-80s, paid dearly for attempting to change irrigation supplies to sugarcane, a holy-cow in the State.
Chavan was a staunch Congressman, except for a brief spell (1978-79) when he helped found and run the Maharashtra Samajwadi Congress, in association with Balasaheb Vikhe-Patil.

If the HP says Shankarrao is dumb but safe, she would go by that; if the HP says Pawar is not to be trusted, he is not to be trusted.
