Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said there was no deal with NCP in return for its unconditional support to his minority government, and asserted that anybody who is guilty of corruption would go to jail. Fadnavis, who has retained the home portfolio, also proposed to do away with the need for sanction to probe the corruption cases where there is a prima facie evidence.

When asked whether he would allow the anti-corruption bureau to conduct inquiry against NCP leaders Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare in connection with alleged scams in the irrigation sector, Fadnavis told a news channel yesterday that his government will make a framework where no sanction should be taken where preliminary inquiry is done and there is a prima facie evidence. Previous Maharashtra Governor had denied the CBI a sanction to prosecute former chief minister Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh Housing Society case.
