Ashok Chavan (R), Congress Party leader and Chief Minister of the western Indian state of Maharashtra along with another Congress party leader, Sushil Kumar Shinde (L) celebrate their party's victory in the state elections at their state party office in Mumbai October 22, 2009. India's ruling Congress party-led alliance won two state polls on Thursday and were set to form the government in a third, local television said, a result that gives more room for the alliance to push economic reforms. Elections were held last week in Maharashtra, northern Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh in polls seen as a major test for the Congress coalition after a strong victory in central polls in May.
