The government should decide whether to send him back home or to prison," fumed Mr Thcakeray, demanding an apology.. "I am not saying anything about the post of the Governor but the person sitting on that chair should respect that chair," he said.

Governor Koshyari insulted Savitribai Phule earlier. Now Marathi Manoos is being insulted in Maharashtra itself. Why did such people come to the fate of Maharashtra?
