Chief Minister (CM) Uddhav Thackeray has told a ‘probing’ Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari that extending the Monsoon session of the state legislature beyond two days amid the Covid-19 pandemic wasn’t a good idea and that the Assembly Speaker will be elected at an appropriate time because there is no specific deadline for it.

The CM also urged Koshyari to lobby with the Centre to get the state’s empirical data of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) to restore their political quota in the local body elections.
