Maharashtra Goverr's Letter to CM

Tensions between Raj Niwas and CM's Varsha bungalow have remained high se last few months. On October 13, 2020, Maharashtra Goverr Bhagat Singh Koshyari wrote a letter to Maharashtra CM regarding reopening of all places of worship. In his letter, Goverr said, "It is ironic that while on one hand, State government has permitted opening of bars, restaurants and beaches, on or hand, our Gods and Goddesses have been condemned to stay in lockdown. You have been a strong votary of Hindutva and publicly espoused your devotion for Lord Rama by visiting Ayodhya after taking charge as Chief Minister. I wonder if you are receiving any divine premonition to keep postponing reopening of places of worships time and again or have you suddenly turned 'secular' yourself, term you hated?" Goverr Koshyari asked. CM responded saying that his 'Hindutva' did t need a 'certificate' from him.
