Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has drawn flak from Congress leaders for his controversial remarks about his predecessors and the Adarsh Society scam.

"Chavan should not have made those remarks," former chief minister Narayan Rane, who was the party's poll campaign in-charge, said. "It does not matter if the remarks were on record or off record. He should not have made them," Rane told a Marathichannel, when told that Chavan had clarified that those were "off the record" comments and had expressed regret over it.
