Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's remarks about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj - an iconic figure for the people of state - have triggered a political storm. The Governor, at an event in Aurangabad on Saturday, had called the legendary warrior king an "icon of olden times". Referring to BR Ambedkar and Union minister Nitin Gadkari, Governor Koshyari said, youngsters don't have to look beyond them when asked about their icon.  His statement evoked strong reactions from the Congress, Sharad Pawar-led NCP and Uddhav Thackeray's faction of Shiv Sena, demanding his resignation for insulting the state icon and drawing parallel between him and others. Its also triggered a war of words between the BJP and the Congress.
