Maharashtra: After Guv, now Union Minister Danve says Samarth Ramdas guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji
Aurangabad, Mar 4: A few days after several leaders, mainly from the NCP and Shiv Sena, criticized Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari for stating that Samarth Ramdas was the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Union Minister Raosaheb Danve waded into the controversy on Friday by backing Koshyari.
Danve said, as per what he had heard, learnt and read, Samarth Ramdas was the guru of the legendary warrior-king, adding that those who disagreed had the right to put forth their stand on the issue and that there was no point in criticizing.
Incidentally, Koshyari had later tried to assuage ruffled feathers by stating he had spoken as per the information he had and stood corrected if others knew better.

NDA's win in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation watershed moment in Kerala politics: PM Modi
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday termed the mandate received by the BJP-led NDA in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation a "watershed moment" in Kerala's politics and expressed gratitude to the BJP workers for the "spectacular results".
The Left parties suffered a major setback in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, held by them for 45 years, as the BJP-led NDA surged ahead with a huge lead.
Reacting to the civic body results, the prime minister said it is a day to recall the work and struggles of generations of karyakartas (workers) in Kerala, who worked at the grassroots, which ensured today's result became a reality.
"Thank you Thiruvananthapuram! The mandate the BJP-NDA got in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation is a watershed moment in Kerala's politics," he wrote on 'X'.
PM Modi said the people are certain that the development aspirations of Kerala can only be addressed by the BJP. "Our Party will work towards this vibrant city's growth and boost 'Ease of Living' for the people," he said with the hashtag #VikasitaThiruvananthapuram.
The prime minister said the BJP karyakartas are the strength of the party, and everyone is proud of them.
"My gratitude to all hardworking BJP karyakartas who have worked among the people, which has ensured a spectacular result in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation," he said.
