The suspense over the fate of embattled Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan continued tonight with a high-level Congress committee tasked to give a report on the housing scam in Mumbai saying it would need “more time”.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, heading the two-member committee, met fellow panel member Defence Minister A K Antony shortly after arrival from Kolkata and said he would require some more time to go through the documents and prepare a report for Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
“I will require more time to go through the papers and therefore it would not be possible for me or Mr Antony to say anything right now,” Mukherjee told reporters after meeting Antony, who is also in-charge of party affairs in Maharashtra.
