The fight started over a letter where the Governor used highly inappropriate words and blatant disrespect with which he spoke to the CM.
The letter was regarding opening of temples in the state of Maharashtra and the Chief Minister was rightly reluctant to open those in the wake of the COVID-19 scene. This did not sit well with the Governor who called forth Thackeray’s apparent lack of Hindutva. NCP leader Sharad Pawar also condemned the Governor for the use of such language.
