LIVE: Cong isolated over Adarsh: NCP says its open to review

December 30, 2013 11:39

The Congress party in Maharashtra stands isolated as ally NCP says it is open to reviewing the Adarsh report in the next cabinet meeting. NCP leader Nawab Malik said action can be taken against those indicted in the report.

The NCP has put the blame on the Congress, in particular on Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, with deputy CM Ajit Pawar of the NCP saying last week that the "decision to reject the report was taken by the Cabinet. The Chief Minister is the head of the Cabinet."

The Adarsh report names former Chief Ministers, Ashok Chavan and the late Vilasrao Deshmukh. It also indicts Shivajirao Nilangekar Patil, who served as Revenue Minister when the building received clearances. NCP Ministers Sunil Tatkare and Rajesh Tope, who were then Ministers of State for Urban Development, have also been criticised for their role in granting clearances
