According to sources, Ashok Chavan is likely to be BJP's Rajya Sabha candidate from Maharashtra putting Congress in a tight spot. Ashok Chavan resgined from the primary membership of the Congress party on Monday. Chavan submitted his resignation to Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Nana Patole. "I have resigned from the Assembly membership as an MLA. I have given my resignation to the Speaker. I have resigned from the Congress Working Committee and the Congress primary membership," Chavan told reporters after resigning from Congress on Monday. Ashok Chavan was the Vice President and General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Youth Congress Committee from 1986 to 1995. He served the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for three terms, starting in 1999 and ending in May 2014. He served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra State from December 8, 2008, to November 9, 2010. On November 9, 2010, the Congress Party asked him to resign from office over corruption allegations relating to the Adarsh Housing Society scam. In the 2014 general elections, Chavan was elected from the Nanded constituency but lost the seat in 2019 Pratap Patil Chikhalikar of the BJP. He is the third big name to desert the Congress ship in Maharashtra. First to go was former South Mumbai MP Milind Deora, followed by former MLA Baba Siddique. (ANI)

	The actor himself drove about an hour to court from Karjat Studio where he was filming his next movie Sultan. Salman's father Salim Khan was photographed leaving Galaxy Apartments earlier. Salman's sister Alvira and faithful bodyguard Shera were also in court.When the High Court pronounced its verdict at about 1.40pm, just his pregnant sister Arpita was present in the house. 
 

	By afternoon, a small crowd of fans (who converged here from far distant places) had joined the banks of media cameras and crews amid high police presence. 
	 
	Even as of now, the crowd milling about on the road outside Galaxy Apartments is still relatively small but is steadily swelling. Salman, who will be 50 later this month, will likely come home to a rapturous welcome today. The actor's neighbours can also expect a traffic jam on the street.
 In May, when the Sessions Court convicted Salman, Galaxy Apartments was crowded with celebrities visiting the actor. The VIP visitors included Shah Rukh Khan, <keyword id="6355923" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aamir-Khan">Aamir Khan</keyword>, Hrithik Rosan, Preity Zinta and Sonakshi Sinha. On Thursday morning, Mumbai politician Baba Siddique was the sole arrival.
