"The comments by the Governor of Maharashtra are unfortunate, but not unexpected," Margaret Alva tweeted
Margaret Alva, the joint opposition candidate running for Vice President, has tore into Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari over his comments that no money would be left in Mumbai or Thane if all Gujaratis and Rajasthanis left. In her attack, however, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar was also the target. The comments by the Governor of Maharashtra are unfortunate, but not unexpected. The message he's received from the ex Governor of W.Bengal's candidature for VP is: controversy, foolish comments & operating like an extra constitutional authority, is behaviour that gets rewarded.
Ms Alva is up against Mr Dhankhar, who the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance has named as their Vice Presidential candidate.
