Maharashtra government protests Governor’s ‘review’ visits to three districts

Organising programme without asking the State government is highly inappropriate, says State Minister Nawab Malik.
In what could be seen as yet another conflict between the Maharashtra government and State’s Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, the State Cabinet on Tuesday registered a strong protest against the latter’s three-day visit to three districts where he will be taking review meetings and has planned the inauguration programmes of various developmental works without taking consent from the concerned Department’s Minister. “The Chief Secretary will be visiting Raj Bhavan to convey the Cabinet’s objections, and he will also inform the Governor about his rights. It is apparent that the Governor is trying to create two power centres in the State,” said State Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik.More Related News
