We demand that the Governor should inform the President if the state government is not functioning as per the constitution. We are going to meet the governor. BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar has clarified that he will demand the governor to inform the president about the state.
Singh on Saturday alleged that Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had indulged in "malpractices" and asked suspended API Sachin Waze to collect Rs 100 crore every month.
In the letter, Singh, who has now been posted as Commandant General of Home Guards, also said that he has been "made a scapegoat to divert attention from the actual wrongdoers".
