As Maharashtra Government readies to table key report on 26/11 attacks in the state assembly, Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh today demanded action against police officers who were in key positions when the terror attack took place.

A decision on alliance with NCP for the Maharashtra assembly polls will be taken by Sunday, senior Congress leader Vilasrao Deshmukh said.

The Comptroller & Auditor General of India has passed strictures against Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, his predecessor Vilasrao Deshmukh and Revenue Minister Patangrao Kadam, pointing out lacunae in dealings concerning them.

Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has said that the fact that he could not lead the Congress in elections in both his tenures was a regret which will always remain at the back of his mind.

Ashok Chavan was sworn in as Maharashtra's new Chief Minister at the head of a 39-member Congress-led coalition ministry that saw a few prominent ministers in the Vilasrao Deshmukh team being dropped and some new faces in on Monday.
