Mumbai: It's now an all out war in the Maharashtra Congress with former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh blaming Ashok Chavan for the Adarsh society mess.
Deshmukh said that when he had cleared the housing society it was only for the retired and serving defence personnel. He claims it was Ashok Chavan who introduced the civilian quota and that's when the problem began.
Deshmukh says whatever was given to the housing society by his government was according to the rules.
