If NCP chief has decided that the allegations should be probed, then what is wrong? Anyone can level any allegation. If people take ministers' resignation just like that then it will be difficult to run the govt: Sanjay Raut, Shiv Sena on Maharashtra HM Anil Deshmukh
"The veracity of the letter's contents will be done by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and (NCP president) Sharad Pawar. The MVA government has completed a year-and-a-half now and all allies need to introspect if their feet are on the ground," Raut said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to stage protests in Maharashtra today, demanding the resignation of Home Minister Anil Deshmukh after former Mumbai Police commissioner Parambir Singh, who was recently transferred, has alleged that Maharashtra Home Minister had asked suspended Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze to collect Rs 100 crore for him every month.
