NCP MP Supriya Sule on February 28 took objection to Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's comment that Samarth Ramdas was the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and said there is no evidence of the duo having the teacher-disciple relationship.
Ms. Sule also cited a July 16, 2018 judgment of the Aurangabad Bench of Bombay High Court, before which the State government had submitted that “no record was available to show that Shivaji Maharaj had occasion to meet Ramdas or Shivaji Maharaj was treating Ramdas as his guru.” “There is no evidence of there being a guru-shishya relationship between Ramdas and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj," the Lok Sabha member from Maharashtra tweeted while referring to the court Order.
Mr. Koshyari, during a programme in Aurangabad on Sunday, underlined the role of the guru (teacher) while citing the examples of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chandragupta Maurya.
