Apparently going soft on Congress after the end of its alliance with BJP, the Shiv Sena today said it is "unfortunate" that former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan's name was not dropped as an accused in the Adarsh Society scam.

"The ghost called Adarsh refuses to leave the Congress and former CM Ashok Chavan. Whenever they (the Congress) try to get rid of it, they face stiff resistance. Its unfortunate that it does not seem he (Chavan) will get relief in this case (Adarsh scam) anytime soon," the Sena said in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana.
