Maharashtra Governor Bhagatsingh Koshyari stoked a fresh controversy after comparing Chhatrapati Shivaji and Dr BR Ambedkar. Dr Koshyari said, "If someone asks youngsters who is your icon? Who is your favorite leader? So you don`t need to go out. You will meet them in Maharashtra itself. Shivaji Maharaj belongs to old times. I am talking about modern times from Dr BR Ambedkar to Nitin Gadkari.’’
