After drawing flak for his controversial remarks on Maratha warrior King Shivaji, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari was slammed by the ruling Congress for allegedly mocking 19 th century social reformers Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule for “getting married at a young age”.
Mr. Koshyari, who recently stoked controversy when he said Samarth Ramdas was Chhatrapati Shivaji’s ‘guru’ contrary to historical evidence, was now taken to task by the Congress which tweeted part of a clip of the Governor’s address made in Pune on February 14.
In the clip, Mr. Koshyari is seen chortling while commenting on the child marriage of Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule.
