BJP to demand dismissal of Ashok Chavan government

The Maharashtra unit of BJP will meet governor K Sankaranarayanan tomorrow to demand dismissal of the Ashok Chavan-led government, which is facing heat over the controversial Adarsh Housing society scam.

State unit spokesperson Madhav Bhandari said the party delegation will be led by state BJP president Sudhir Mungantiwar.

Leader of opposition in the Legislative Assembly Eknath Khadse, senior leader Vinod Tawde would also be present along with legislators and office-bearers.

Chavan came under flak after it was revealed that his relatives were among the beneficiaries of flat allotment in the society.

He had offered to resign while presenting his side to the Congress high command yesterday.
