Pressure is building up on CM Uddhav Thackeray to initiate action against former intelligence commissioner Rashmi Shukla, accused of illegally tapping phones. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to ask Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to file a report on the current state of affairs in Maharashtra. On Wednesday, BJP’s state delegation handed Koshyari about 100 instances of cases that according to them, showed deterioration of law and order, corruption and constitutional crisis.

Sources said Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari is empowered to ask the chief minister and the government to file a report and he can also summon officials concerned to Raj Bhavan. File pic/Pradeep Dhivar
