Amid controversy over his comments that Samarth Ramdas was the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Monday stuck to his remarks and took a veiled dig at his detractors saying some people have told him new facts about the history.

Earlier in the day, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders, MPs Supriya Sule (NCP) and Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena) took strong exception to Koshyari's comments which he had made at a function in Aurangabad on Sunday.
