The BJP wants the governor to send a report to the President based on the allegations against Anil Deshmukh
A BJP delegation led by Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis met the Maharashtra amid allegations of corruption against state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Mr Fadnavis was accompanied by senior BJP leader Sudhir Munghantiwar and state BJP president Chandrakant Patil. The BJP wants the governor to send a report to the President based on the allegations against Mr Deshmukh. The governor is likely to ask the chief secretary for a report after the BJP's demands. "The incidents that have been revealed in the last few days are worrying, whether it is extortion or the racket in police transfers. And the biggest worry is the silence of the Chief Minister. He has not said a word on this," Mr Fadnavis said. "Sharad Pawar has held two press conferences and he has tried to cover it up and save his minister. We don't know where the Congress stands on this. The Congress seems to be speaking in multiple voices. We don't know what their share they are getting in all of this. Whether this is the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi or Maharashtra Vasooli Aghadi, we don't know. We have requested, if the Chief Minister is not speaking then at least the constitutional head, the governor, can ask for a report and get the details of what has happened," Mr Fadnavis said after meeting the governor.
