VBA demands Prez Rule over allegations on Anil Deshmukh

A Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi delegation led by former Parliamentarian, Prakash Ambedkar, on Monday called on Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari and demanded President’s Rule in Maharashtra.

“Because of the current situation emerging from the serious allegations, the state should be placed under President’s Rule…however, the Assembly should be kept under suspended animation…may be in next four or five months we can have a government that would look into the interests of people,” said Ambedkar, the grandson of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.

He also said that there should be a probe into the allegations by former Police chief Param Bir Singh to find out whether “collecting money” was the decision of the three parties – Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress – or the state Cabinet.

“If the Governor fails to take action, there would be perception whether the opposition (BJP) is also involved in the scam,” he added.
