MUMBAI: In a clear snub to Maharashtra state Revenue Minister Narayan Rane Narayan Rane (मराठी:नारायण राणे)(born April 10, 1952) is a former Chief Minister Maharashtra. He was a member of Shiv Sena until July 2005 when he joined Indian National Congress party. , the Congress party's high command has silenced detractors of state Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh by clearing decks for the appointment to key posts of candidates picked by the chief minister.

The name of former state Home Minister Manikrao Thakre from Vidarbha region, a staunch Gandhi family loyalist, has been approved for the vacant post of president of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee The elected committee that directs the Congress Party in an Indian state is known as a PCC, or Pradesh Congress Committee. It is elected by card-holding members of the Congress, the world's largest political organisation, and in turn elects State Congress Presidents and delegates to the  (MPCC MPCC Military Police Complaints Commission (Canada)
MPCC Multi-Purpose Community Centre (RSA)
MPCC Monterey Peninsula Country Club (California) 
).

Rane was vying for this post after he submitted his resignation to the Congress high command last month. The All-India Congress Committee (AICC AICC anti-inhibitor coagulant complex. ) had not only turned down Rane's request but also ensured that none of his supporters becomes the MPCC chief also.

Speaking to journalists at a press conference here yesterday, Deshmukh refused to speak on the issue of the new changes. The chief minister, who returned to Mumbai from Delhi yesterday morning after holding long deliberations with Congress President Sonia Gandhi and AICC General Secretary Ahmed Patel, said that he had also got a nod for a Cabinet reshuffle and an expansion.

In another jolt to Rane, the Congress appointed another former home minister, Kripa Shankar Singh, as the Mumbai Regional Congress Committee (MRCC MRCC Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

) president; he will be the north Indian face in the state and city Congress.

Eknath Gaikwad, a Dalit member of Parliament from Mumbai, has been appointed as the working president of the MRCC. The MRCC president's post remained vacant for a long time following the resignation of Gurudas Kamat, an MP from the city who completed his five-year tenure.
