NewsX: The Union Home Miniser Sushil Kumar Shinde's delayed response on Chhattisgarh has drawn him flak from from both the opposition as well as Congress leaders.

Though Shinde is all set to visit Chhattisgarh today to take stock of the situation, his explanation for arriving 5 days after Saturday's Naxal attack has failed to cut ice.

Shinde has cited a pre-scheduled appointment on May 28 with an internationally famous eye surgeon of keeping him back in the US.
