During a speech yesterday, Mr Koshyari said, "If Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and Thane, no money would be left here."
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today lashed out at Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari who has kicked up controversy for saying that if Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are taken out of Maharashtra, the state will have no money left. Accusing the Governor of "dividing Hindus", he said the remark is an insult to 'Marathi Manoos' (Marathi speaking sons of the soil) and Marathi pride.
"The government should decide whether to send him back home or to prison," fumed Mr Thcakeray, demanding an apology.
