Confusion reigned supreme on Thursday over a proposed meeting between Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. While Raj Bhavan officials said the governor’s audience wasn’t sought, sources in the government said they were informed that Koshyari was not available because of scheduled events.

Later in the day, the suspense thickened and speculations were rife, after it emerged that Koshyari was scheduled to travel for four days to New Delhi and Uttarakhand, and Thackeray’s personal assistant Milind Narvekar reached Raj Bhavan to meet the governor in the evening. The details of the Koshyari-Narvekar meeting were not available. Koshyari’s proposed Delhi tour was ultimately seen in the context of political events that have unfolded in the state over the past three days.
