Some of Koshyari’s statements had courted controversy, leading to the state Raj Bhavan announcing last month that he wanted to step down.
Addressing a gathering in November last year, Koshyari had said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was an “icon of yesteryear” and personalities from Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar to Nitin Gadkari were modern icons of the state.
Uddhav Thackeray, when he was chief minister of Maharashtra, also accused Koshyari of being hyperactive, and pointed out that the governor had not filled 12 vacant seats in the state legislative council despite the state government’s recommendation.
During this, Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais has been made in place of Koshyari.,
