But a section of the party recall that almost on all occasions, party chief Sonia Gandhi has given the green signal in favour of the PCC chief to be made the Chief Minister, when the party has won elections.

Pachouri, who has been president of Seva Dal for a considerable period of time, has so far remained in national politics, and has spent over two decades in Rajya Sabha.
