Maharashtra’s Advocate General Shreehari Aney today resigned amid a row over his remarks about a separate Marathwada. He handed over his resignation to Governor C Vidyasagar Rao.

The move comes after the AG stoked a controversy by advocating separate statehood for Marathwada region. He had earlier sparked a similar row by calling for a referendum on a separate Vidarabha state.

Opposition parties and Shiv Sena yesterday moved separate motions in the Assembly seeking Aney’s dismissal. Sena reportedly refused to participate in Cabinet meetings until Aney is sacked.
