Governor’s delay in MLC appointments is unconstitutional: Shiv Sena
The Hindu
Koshyari is acting like a ‘political agent’ of the Central government, says editorial in party’s paper Saamana
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari came under fire from the ruling Shiv Sena on Wednesday over the former’s delay in nominating 12 members of the State’s Legislative Council (MLCs) recommended by the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Launching a broadside against Mr. Koshyari, the Sena’s mouthpiece Saamana alleged that the Governor’s behaviour was “unconstitutional” and that he was acting like a “political agent” of the Central government. However, the editorial said that the tripartite MVA coalition would not “surrender” to such behaviour “like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani did to the Taliban”. “It appears that the MLCs will not be appointed until the Governor’s ‘favourite government’ [the BJP] comes to power in Maharashtra,” read the editorial.More Related News
