Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari apologised for his "Gujaratis-Rajasthanis" remark today after facing significant disapproval from all political parties.
Governor Koshyari landed in a controversy for his speech last week during which he said that if Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are taken out of Maharashtra, the state will have no money left.
"If Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and Thane, no money would be left here. Mumbai would not be able to remain the financial capital of the country," the Maharashtra governor had said.
Taking cognizance of his remarks, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had said that these were the Governor's personal comments and that he did not support them. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also agreed with Mr Shinde's stand leaving BS Koshyari isolated amid the row.
