Kalraj Mishra likely to replace Koshyari as Maha Governor: Reports
According to an IANS, the Centre is likely to transfer Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra is likely to replace Koshyari, said highly-placed sources in the government.
The Congress has raised question on Koshyari's conduct with party spokesperson Manish Tewari said that "the question is not that truth has won... the larger question today is and we do hope that the Hon'ble Supreme Court will go into that the manner in which the Constitution, rules, regulations, precedents, and traditions were completely thrown to the winds when the Governor acted in the most partisan manner possible".
Arguing in the Supreme Court on the petition filed by the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine, senior Congress leader and lawyer Kapil Sibal had charged the Governor with acting in a biased and mala fide manner and contrary to the law established by the top court.
A Congress leader said that Governor's position is untenable and the President should immediately replace him after the court verdict.
