'Antulay had argument before he quit'

New Delhi: A R Antulay reportedly had a heated exchange with then Maharashtra governor Om Prakash Mehra before resigning as chief minister of the state in 1982 on the latter's advice following a cement scam.

"A politically-strong Antulay was involved in a controversy over collecting excess money to issue permits for cement sale in the early 1980s when it was under government control, and money was raised for a trust named after then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi," PTI quoted retired Air Chief Marshal Mehra, who was governor at that time, as saying.

"When the controversy cropped up, I called Antulay and asked him to resign," said Mehra.

Mehra said Antulay, now a Union minister, had asked, "Have you studied provisions of the Constitution?"

To that, Mehra had replied saying he was "acting on the basis of an uncommon commodity called common sense which you don't have".

"Within half an hour, I accepted it (his resignation) and went on to broadcast the news on All India Radio," said Mehra.
