The Shiv Sena in Goa on Wednesday chided Bhagat Singh Koshyari, currently Governor of both Maharashtra as well as Goa, for his silence over Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's overtures to minority communities in the coastal state over providing adequate supply of beef amid a shortage.

Speaking to reporters in Panaj, said that his party was surprised by Koshyari's silence on Sawant's willingness to provide live cattle for slaughter in Goa, especially when two months ago the Governor had attacked Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for denying Hindus entry to temples during the COVID-19 lockdown.
