Aftermath of the attacks When Vilasrao Deshmukh was asked to resign from his post of Chief Minister of Maharashtra after the attacks, there was an instant clamour for the coveted position of Chief Minister. Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Narayan Rane of the Congress Party was coveting it with great desire. But he was sidelined and the post was given to Ashok Chavan. Angry with the Congress Party and NCP for being ignored, Rane directly approached the media and stated that the Mumbai Terror Attacks could not have been possible on such a devastating scale without local support. He also offered to release the names of all the Indian political parties which had financed the Mumbai Terror attacks. This set off an immediate panic, the party bosses of the Congress and the NCP had several meetings with NarayanRanebehind closed doors. After Rane emerged from the meetings, he was accosted by the media, who asked the minister about his earlier claims. He conveniently developed amnesia and refused to comment. The media did not relent and pursued him with an RTI act. Rane to this day has not revealed anything on the matter. (Source: NDTV, Times of India, Daily News and Analysis) Be Positive! |
