Rajni Patil from Maharashtra will occupy the vacancy in the Rajya Sabha caused by the demise of former Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh.

The All India Congress Committee has approved Rajni Patil -- an official announcement will be made shortly in New Delhi.

This puts rest to the speculation that an outsider is likely to be accommodated from Maharashtra.

The buzz in the AICC is that Punjab governor Shivraj Patil wanted Rajni Patil and his recommendation was accepted by Congress president Sonia Gandhi
