Bhagat Singh Koshiyari, not a bit of hoshiyari: Congress slams Maharashtra Governor’s remark, Uddhav Thackeray accuses him of dividing Hindus
After backlash from the opposition, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde distanced himself from the Governor’s comment.

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s controversial remark about Mumbai owing its financial capital status due to the hard work of Gujaratis and Rajasthanis on Saturday triggered a political storm across the country.
Congress has hit out at Governor calling his remarks a hoshiyari while the Shiv Sena chief accused of him dividing Hindus.
After backlash from the opposition, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde distanced himself from the Governor’s comment and said that these were the Governor’s personal comments and he did not support them.
Taking to Twitter, Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh tweeted that his name is Bhagat Singh Koshyari but as a governor, there is not a bit of hoshiyari (smartness) in what he says and does. He is sitting on the chair only because he faithfully obeys the command of we two, he said in his tweet.
Hitting out at the Governor, Thackeray demanded an apology from Koshiyari and said the remark is an insult to Marathi Manoos (Marathi speaking sons of the soil) and Marathi pride. The government should decide whether to send him back home or to prison, former Maharashtra CM said.
The Governor is the messenger of the President, he takes the words of the President throughout the country. But if he does the same mistakes then who will take action against him?, Thackeray asked in a press a conference at his residence Matoshree.
The Governor has insulted the Marathis and their pride, Thackeray further said.
The controversy stirred after Bhagat Singh Koshyari had said that Mumbai wouldn’t have been the financial capital if not for Gujaratis and Rajasthanis. He was speaking at an event in Mumbai.
If Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and Thane, no money would be left here. Mumbai would not be able to remain the financial capital of the country, the Governor said in his speech.

PM Modi says hat-trick victories guarantee 2024 hat-trick
Narendra Modi claimed that dissatisfaction among youth over paper leak and recruitment scam led to ouster the governments of Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan.

After the BJP’s sweeping victories in the assembly elections of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the victory is of a self-reliant India, honest, transparency and good governance. Hailing that this hat-trick of victories has given guarantee for a 2024 hat-trick, he said that voters do not believe talk in thin air, false promises and rather support a concrete roadmap for development and good governance.
Referring to the Congress demand for a caste census, PM Modi said that some people tried to divide the country on caste lines during the elections. He added that for him there are only four castes namely women, youth, farmers and poor whose empowerment can strengthen the country. He stated that the people from all castes, regions, communities voted for the party and that every poor person feels that he has won.

Welfarism beats the Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan
Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched several schemes for women including cash incentives and even delivered two tranches of Rs 3000 each on Rakhi and Karwa Chauth to married women.

By Neeraj Mishra
In one giant swoop, the BJP has cornered entire Western and Central India with its latest victories in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. The party now controls the entire cow belt giving it the right platform for 2024.
While Rajasthan was iffy for the Congress, it was overconfident in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, where a combination of weak and divided local leadership and women voters eventually brought it down. It has lost Madhya Pradesh 65-164 and Chhattisgarh 34-56.
ELECTION 2023 COVERAGE: Madhya Pradesh | Rajasthan | Chhattisgarh | Telangana
In many ways, these were elections driven by labarthis (beneficiaries) and the BJP proved itself with better planning, strategy and implementation. In Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched several schemes for women including cash incentives and even delivered two tranches of Rs 3000 each on Rakhi and Karwa Chauth to married women.
In Chhattisgarh, where the BJP was in the opposition, it adopted a better strategy by promising Rs 12,000 per annum to married women and later getting them to sign some forms which made the signatories believe they would receive the promised benefit later. BJP workers got more than 30 lakh forms signed and in a state with more women voters than men, it surely means something.
In MP, an overconfident Congress made a mess of ticket distribution. Digvijaya Singh grabbed the largest share and brought in all his 90s cabinet. Eventually, they all lost. It is perhaps time to get rid of Digvijaya and Kamal Nath altogether just like Uma Bharti was ex-communicated from the state by the BJP in 2007 after Shivraj became CM. It paved way for the new.
The loss in both states will hurt the party not only in the three states but its ramifications will be felt at national level with INDIA and other alliances.
