When the Congress-led UPA government decided to approve the Delhi Mumbai industrial corridor (DMIC) a few years ago, it should have added another high-speed corridor for the state CM, Prithviraj Chavan, to enable him to reach the national capital to meet the party’s high command.

Chavan is seen making trips to Delhi every third or fourth day of the week. Interestingly, these visits are not for any official meetings with the union government, but for meetings with the party bosses. For the last few months, Congress has kept the CM on tenterhooks, knowing well that the state is going to face assembly elections in October.
