Causing a massive controversy Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari said that if Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Maharashtra, then Maharashtra will have no money left and Mumbai will no longer be called the financial capital of India.
“I keep telling people sometimes that If Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Maharashtra — especially from Mumbai and Thane, then you will have no money left,” Koshyari said at an event in Mumbai’s Andheri.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has condemned Koshyari’s remark and urged Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde to at least condemn the statements made by the governor.
He also shared the video and asked social media users to listen to how the governor ‘hurt’ the Marathi pride.
“The Marathi man gets insulted as soon as a BJP-sponsored chief minister is in power. CM Shinde, at least condemn the Governor. This is an insult to Marathi hard-working people,” Raut tweeted.

Congress leader Sachin Sawant also tweeted the video and said the insult of the Marathi people by the governor of Maharashtra is terrible.
Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi sought an immediate apology from the governor for his ‘insult’ to the hard work of the people of Maharashtra.
“This is an insult to the hard work of the people of Maharashtra and Marathi Manoos who have toiled day in and day out to make the state the leading state of the country. The Governor should apologise immediately, failing which, we will demand to replace him. Are the CM and Deputy CM aka Maharashtra cabinet okay with this? Why are they silent? Oh wait, they have still not agreed upon their cabinet ministers,” she added.
