According to sources, Amit Shah wants to understand the slew of decisions taken by Khadse in his capacity as the revenue minister.

"Government officials are busy translating the government resolution (GR) copies from Marathi to English. Khadse has taken 119 important decisions and even issued the GR," said a revenue official on condition of anonymity.

The officials are not told the reason behind this exercise. Khadse was not available for comments.

Khadse was asked to step down as minister when his Pune land deal controversy snowballed. He was alleged to have misused his official position to buy 1.21 hectares of land in his wife Mandakini's and son-in-law Girish Chaudhari's name at cost of Rs 3.75 crore.

In the last 20 months, the prominent decisions taken by Khadse include not to charge stamp duty while gifting of a property from husband to wife and vice versa and in blood relations.
