Maharashtra police submitted report to assembly saying 'Governor was injured' #TrustVoteDrama — TIMES NOW (@timesnow) November 12, 2014

MUMBAI: Protesting legislators of Congress caused "injury" to Maharashtra governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao on the first day of the session on Wednesday when they tried to block his entry into the legislature complex here, revenue minister Eknath Khadse said.The leaders were protesting against the trust vote held in Maharashtra assembly on Wednesday, accusing the ruling BJP of failing to prove its majority and "strangulating democracy".Speaking in the assembly, Khadse said Congress legislators Rahul Bondre, Amar Kale, Ranjit Kamble, Vijay Wadettiwar and Abdul Sattar "caused injuries" to two legislature officials as well as the governor.The five Congress legislators have been suspended by the speaker for two years over the incident."The governor's left hand was injured. The issue does not end with an apology. This should not be tolerated," Khadse said.Congress leader in the house Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil said there was no intention to hurt anyone, but he would apologize.NCP MLAs Ajit Pawar, RR Patil and Chhagan Bhujbal, however, said that the issue should be put to rest with an apology if the report was true.Today was the first day of the new legislative assembly and it should not start on a bitter note, the NCP leaders said.BJP MLA Girish Mahajan said he was an eyewitness to the incident and it was reprehensible.Speaker Haribhau Bagde then adjourned the house for 30 minutes to discuss the issue with group leaders.
