Deshmukh Congress Party

Former Maharashtra MLA Ashish Deshmukh on Thursday criticised the Congress for expelling him, and said the action showed that the party's state unit was in the hands of wrong people.

Nationalist Congress Party leader and former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who spent 13 months in jail in connection with money laundering and corruption cases before getting bail, on Sunday claimed he was made an offer in jail.

In a major relief for former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the CBI's appeal challenging the Bombay High Court order granting bail to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader in a corruption case.

Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh is likely to walk out of jail on Wednesday as the Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused to extend its stay on an order granting him bail in a corruption case registered by the CBI.

Advocate Inderpal Singh on Monday said that the bail orders of Nationalist Congress Party leader Anil Deshmukh would be implemented from the 11th day if the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failed to present its case in ten days.

Mr Deshmukh has argued that fielding a local leader would have strengthened the party but the leadership has chosen to bring in a political lightweight from another state instead.

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar today accused the BJP of misusing central agencies, citing the repeated raids on the house of former state minister Anil Deshmukh.

The Enforcement Directorate had initiated a probe against Anil Deshmukh and his associates after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed its case against the Nationalist Congress Party leader on April 21.

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Thursday claimed that a leaked CBI report which purportedly gave a clean chit to former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh in a corruption case was genuine.

Anil Deshmukh is not an "accidental home minister" of Maharashtra and if shortcomings have been brought forward in Shiv Sena's mouthpiece "Saamana", then, it should be taken in a positive manner, said Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik on Sunday.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah's brusque refusal today to either confirm or deny a reported meeting with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar in Ahmedabad could fuel further uncertainty in Maharashtra's ruling coalition, already singed in the aftermath of the Mukesh Ambani bomb-scare case. It came on a day that the Shiv Sena mouthpiec...

Julio Ribeiro, the former top cop of Mumbai, Gujarat and Punjab, whose name was suggested by Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday to investigate the corruption allegations against Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, has said he would not take up the job even if it is offered.

The final decision on Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh -- battling corruption allegations by former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh -- lies with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, ally Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar said on Sunday. He, however, questioned the timing of the allegations by Mr Singh, who was replaced over lapse...
