The names of the 12 people of imminence who have been recommended for appointment to the legislative council cannot be known officially from the Raj Bhavan because the governor has kept in his custody the dossier that has come from the state government.  This is the reply the governor’s deputy secretary gave in response to the appeal against the denial of Right To Information (RTI).

RTI activist Anil Galgali had on April 22 filed a query seeking to know the status of the proposal (dated November 6, 2020) submitted by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari regarding the appointment of members to the upper house.
