Although Verma has said that he had no intention to make a film on the issue but the controversy, it seems has claimed the chief ministerial chair.

Infact, reports coming from Mumbai said that Deshmukh has offered to resign from the top post alongwith his deputy chief minister RR Patil, who also came under fire for making a nonchalant remark. Although it is understood that the Congress high command is likely to accept the resignation of the chief minister but he has been asked to continue till a replacement is decided upon.

People in the entire country, particularly in Mumbai were aghast at the manner, in which the Maharashtra chief minister had conducted himself over the last few day. His tour of Taj hotel with Verma and his son, in toe, have left the people cringing in anger and as a result the people are baying for his ouster from the top job.

In fact, Deshmukh has been accused of going on a terror picnic to Taj along with his son and the Bollywood director. Although, Verma maintained that he had no plans to make a movie on the subject but his claims notwithstanding, it is certain that this trip is likely to unseat Deshmukh.

Angry Mumbai people alleged that the chief minister was unconcerned about the plight of the people and the manner, in which he conducted himself amounted to insensitivity of the highest order.

Meanwhile, Deshmukh claimed that it was just a coincidence that Ram Gopal Verma was present at the Taj, adding, “The whole issue is being blown out of proportion.”

Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party was quick to seize the initiative and alleged that it was likely that the director wants to make a movie on the subject and wanted the chief minister’s son to act in it. The party said that the state chief minister should take lead from the Union home minister and resign from the job.
