New Delhi/Mumbai: Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan today appeared to have dug his heels in against Centre's request to him to quit as some more of his counterparts in other states kept up their defiance.

Two days after Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami called some of the Governors appointed during UPA government's tenure to resign in the wake of change of government in the Centre, pressure appears to have been mounted to secure their resignation but nothing was in the offing.
