C.M of Mharashtra says “NO”

The C.M of Mharashtra Ashok Chavan has taken a decision not to be in the stage which is common for Superstar Amitabh Bachchan at a Marathi literary meet.

Mr. Chavan changed his plans and will visit the venue on Saturday itself, Chairman of the Sammelan’s Committee Satish Desai said.

Mr. Bachchan told to the detractors, saying “the whole controversy was manufactured“.

He said “the party has more pressing issues to attend to than belittle him”.

“The media attempts to insinuate that the Congress Party is responsible for this (row) and that it is a deliberate attempt to deface me is a lot of hogwash. The Congress is a large outfit that has governed this land for the largest tenure in the political history of our nation and continues to do so,” the actor said in his latest blog post.

Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi had said in Delhi on Friday that the Congress had not issued any instructions to the Chief Minister.
