BJP to demand dismissal of Chavan govt

Mumbai, October 31: 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 spokesman 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.
