Mumbai, March 22 (IANS) Two days after he mooted the creation of a separate state of Marathwada kicking up a major political controversy, Maharashtra’s Advocate General Shrihari Aney quit the post here on Tuesday morning.
Aney met Maharashtra Governor C.V. Rao at Raj Bhavan and handed over his resignation letter, official sources said.
