The details of the meeting, however, were not divulged.
Bhagat Singh Koshyari's tenure as the governor of Maharashtra was eventful, with the early morning swearing-in ceremony of Devendra Fadnavis as the chief minister with the NCP's Ajit
Ajit Pawar as his deputy in November 2019, the fall of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government and swearing in the Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde as the chief minister with
Devendra Fadnavis as his deputy in June last year.
Meanwhile, Devendra Fadnavis last week asked why "so many" prime ministers came from a single family during the Congress rule if the party believes in 'Jitni Aabadi Utni Bhagidari' principle.
Speaking at the 'OBC Jagar Yatra' organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) OBC Morcha in Maharashtra's Washim district, Devendra Fadnavis said that the Other Backward Classes (OBC) are getting substantial share of political power and welfare benefits under the BJP rule.
The Congress, which is pushing for a caste census in the country, has been using the slogan 'Jitni Aabadi Utni Bhagidari' (benefits as per a community's share in population).
"Why, then, so many prime ministers came from only one family? Will they answer this question?" Devendra Fadnavis said, referring to the slogan.
The Congress and "Uddhav Thackeray's party" (Shiv Sena) had once opposed the Mandal Commission report, he claimed, adding that today the country has an "OBC prime minister and leader who stands for working for the OBCs".
