This information was given by Hasan Mushrif at a press conference held in Kolhapur today. In April, the term of 12 legislators nominated by the government in the state council will expire. The list of recommendations of these 12 names will be sent to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari by the Cabinet headed by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
However, BJP state president MLA Chandrakant Patil informed Vinay Kore that the recommendation would be rejected by the BJP-appointed governor, said Rural Development Minister Hasan Mushrif at a press conference.
