So after lurking around for more than a decade and three years after being admitted as a member, it s time to post my first thread, a photologue of a short but sweet Konkan trip undertaken in May.
The good times seem to have ended for the suave five-term MLA from Vidarbha, who has an unconventional approach to things. Popularly known as Anil Babu, Deshmukh is currently facing the biggest challenge of his political career, a crisis that began near Mukesh Ambani’s house and eventually reached the home minister’s doorstep.

When Shiv Sena spokesman Sanjay Raut termed Anil Deshmukh as an “accidental Home Minister” recently, it made headlines everywhere. It also rankled Deshmukh’s party, the NCP.
There could be a grain of truth in Raut’s claim, for NCP supremo Sharad Pawar did have other choices: his nephew Ajit Pawar, state NCP president Jayant Patil, who had handled the portfolio in the aftermath of 26/11 attacks, and Dilip Walse-Patil, a former Speaker.
The reason Deshmukh, 70, landed the coveted and crucial job, some say, is due to the fact that he is a Pawar loyalist. And being loyal does pay in politics. He is also very close to Pawar’s trouble-shooter and party general secretary, Praful Patel.
