Defending its move to restrict Maharashtra governor from boarding a state aircraft, Shiv Sena has slammed the Koshiyari in its editorial Saamana. Read On.

Maha CM Uddhav Thackeray with Bhagat Singh Koshiyari

The rift between the Uddhav Thackeray government of Maharashtra and Governor Koshyari has escalated. Shiv Sena has now released an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamna saying 'What to do with this governor?' Shiv Sena has defended themselves in Saamna over the issue of not providing the state aircraft to Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari for a visit to his state home Uttarakhand.

Shiv Sena has said that they refused the aircraft a day ago and even informed Governor's office then why did Bhagat Singh Koshiyari try to board this plane. Shiv Sena said that his visit to Uttarakhand was personal and according to the state norms he or even the Chief Minister can't take the government plane.

The Shiv Sena editorial said, "The Governor had to fly to his own home state of Dehradun while flying a government plane. But the Maharashtra government did not allow him to use the aircraft. The Governor boarded the plane on Thursday morning. As he wasn't allowed, he came down. He had had to go Dehradun by commercial plane. Now the main opposition party of the state is trying to raise the issue and blame the state government for nothing.. "

Saamana further wrote, "The Governor's office had asked for permission to fly the aircraft and despite not having been given permission by the government a day earlier, the Governor went to the plane and sat down? What is the reason for such behaviour? Since the tour was private, the government plane cannot be used as mentioned in the rules and the Governor already knows about this. Even after informing it, the governor sat in the plane (the governor says that his visit was not private). Permission of aircraft is not allowed. "

Governor behaving like a political puppet is an insult to the constitution

Shiv Sena has described the Governor as a political puppet in its Saamna editorial. It has been said in the article that the governor is forced to dance on the agenda of the BJP and the governor is undergoing with it and trapped. If the Governor would like someone like a political puppet, it is an insult to the Constitution. The governor is supposed to follow the agenda of the government, not the opposition.
