A few days after the President of India announced the appointment of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to replace former Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Ramesh Bais and his deputy bid farewell to the governor.
“Today I was present at Raj Bhavan along with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to bid farewell to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari,” Shiv Sena (BSS) leader Eknath Shinde tweeted.
“During the tenure of Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, many programs were organized in the Raj Bhavan. An extension to the Raj Bhavan was also built. Apart from this, Maharashtra will always be known as the Governor who personally attends events in every district of the state.” Shinde said.

Koshyari was accused of hurting sentiments by referring to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a symbol of the older generations. His remarks against Mahatma and Savitribai Phule also drew his ire. “Savitribai was married when she was ten years old…and her husband (Jyotiba) was 13 years old. Now think, what will the boys and girls be doing after marriage. What would they have been thinking?” Koshyari said while raising laughter at the inauguration of Savitribai Phule’s statue in Pune.
