Speaking at an event to name a chowk after the late Shantidevi Champalalji Kothari in Mumbai’s Andheri on Friday, the governor praised the Marwari Gujarati community and said wherever they go, they contribute to the development of the place by creating hospitals, schools etc. Reacting to the development, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday condemned Governor Koshyari’s speech and urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to at least condemn the statements made by the Governor.  “The Marathi man gets insulted as soon as a BJP-sponsored chief minister is in power. CM Shinde, at least condemn the Governor. This is an insult to Marathi hard-working people,” Raut tweeted.

महाराष्ट्रात भाजपा पुरस्कृत मुख्यमंत्री होताच मराठी माणूस आणि शिवरायांचा अपमान सुरू झाला..स्वाभिमान अभिमान यावर बाहेर पडलेला गट हे ऐकूनही गप्प बसणार असेल तर शिवसेनेचे नाव घेऊ नका..मुख्यमंत्री शिंदे..राज्यपालांचा साधा निषेध तरी करा.मराठी कष्टकरी जनतेचा हा अपमान आहे..

Raut said the governor implies that Maharashtra and Marathi people are beggars. “Chief Minister Shinde, are you listening? That your Maharashtra is different. If you have self-respect, then seek the resignation of the governor,” Raut said in another tweet.

थोडक्यात काय तर महाराष्ट्र व मराठी माणूस भिकारडा
आहे...
105 मराठी हुतात्म्यांचा असा अपमान मोरारजी देसाई यांनी देखील केला नव्हता..
