Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari "offered to resign". The Raj Bhavan has, however, denied the claim. Raut said this was a result of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) hinting about organising a statewide bandh after Koshyari called Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj an 'old idol'.
