Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil who had come under fire in the wake of serial blasts got a respite with Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan praising him and stating that he was doing 'extremely' well.
Speaking to reporters after an all-party meeting called in the wake of serial blasts, Chavan said that Patil is doing extremely well and overseeing the probe into the blasts.
