"athawale"

The Union Minister questioned why Deshmukh did not resign before and did so only after Mumbai High Court ordered a CBI inquiry.

There should be a probe against Anil Deshmukh as he is under suspicion at this moment, Athawale said.

Athawale (60) is a member of the Rajya Sabha and minister of state for social justice in the Narendra Modi-led ministry.
