Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Sunday demanded the recall of Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari over his comments referring to Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as an icon of "olden days".

Patole also demanded an apology from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claiming that its leader Sudhanshu Trivedi had made insulting comments against Shivaji Maharaj.
