All eyes are now on the Maharashtra governor as the MVA government has sent in nominations of people of eminence, including politicians, those working in the field of arts, literature, social service and cooperation, to the Raj Bhavan to fill up the 12 vacancies of the Upper House in the governor's quota.

According to sources, the Shiv Sena has recommended actress Urmila Matondkar, who quit the Congress after losing last year's Lok Sabha polls. Recently, Urmila defended the Sena in a controversy around a Bollywood actor's death and had taken on industry colleague Kangana Ranaut. The NCP is reported to have included Eknath Khadse, who broke 40-year-old ties with the BJP last month.
