The ruling alliance in Maharashtra does not have an absolute majority.In case congress party high command wants to unseat Vilasrao it should consult its prime ally that is the NCP.The NCP may not be in favour of replacing Vilasrao by Rane.As regards the other three contestants viz.Sushilkumar,Patangrao and Prithviraj neither of them is capable of leading the party legislators.Rane could be a good option if at all the NCP high command accepts him.
