Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Tuesday that he had been informed by former governor B S Koshyari that MVA leaders had written a letter with a threatening tone to the ex-governor over MLC nominations and refused to withdraw it.

The deputy CM's remarks come a day after Koshyari defended his stand to sit on the nominations for 12 Members of the Legislative Council under the governor's quota when Uddhav Thackeray led the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state.
