CBI CHARGE SHEET?????????????????????? Satish Rai | Thu Jul 5 09:00:36 2012
Very pathetic .Extra feather in his cap .
On other hand Mr. Ashok Chahwan has been crucified in Maharashtra congress politics.
If Mr. Chahwan has been chargsheeted then why not Mr. Deshmukf & Mr. Shinde?
It is only because ob that they are ministers in the central govt.
This CBI Charge sheet really raise many questions, that has to be answered to the common man.
