Mumbai: In a veiled swipe at Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, the Nationalist Congress Party on Friday said Maharashtra Congress should identify those who were responsible for putting it in a spot over the Adarsh Society probe commission`s report.

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today said in Delhi that he did not agree with state government`s decision to reject the report, which indicts former Congress Chief Ministers Shivajirao Patil-Nilangekar, Sushil Kumar Shinde, Ashok Chavan and the late Vilasrao Deshmukh. "Those who are responsible should be identified by the party. They (Congress) have to face such setbacks both in the state and at the Centre, which creates an awkward situation for them. The leaders who are responsible should be identified and the party should think about them," NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik told a news agency here. Malik also said NCP would back Chavan if he reversed his decision to reject the report.
