"Whatever the question raised, I think the issue has been clarified by NCP chief Sharad Pawar that the Chief Minister will be from Congress," Deshmukh said.

He was responding to a question on Bhujbal's idea of rotating the post of Chief Minister in Maharashtra between Congress and ally NCP.

"I don't see any controversy on the issue in the wake of the clarification given by the NCP high command," he said.
