'Unnecessary comments': Ajit Pawar takes dig at governor in presence of PM Modi

Firstpost  

Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari during a programme in Aurangabad last Sunday said Samarth Ramdas was the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Pune: Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar on Sunday said some people holding high posts were making unnecessary comments and this was not acceptable to the people of the state. NCP leader Pawar made the comments, apparently aimed at Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, at Pune’s MIT College ground, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the governor were present during the inauguration of various development projects. Notably, some leaders of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra as well as the BJP recently objected to Governor Koshyari’s remark that Samarth Ramdas was the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Koshyari, during a programme in Aurangabad last Sunday, underlined the role of the guru while citing the examples of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chandragupta Maurya.
