Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais to take over as Maharashtra Governor after Bhagat Singh Koshyari's resignation
Mumbai/IBNS: Ramesh Bais, former Jharkhand governor, will replace Bhagat Singh Koshyari as Maharashtra Governor.
Maharashtra is among 12 states to get a new Governor as President Droupadi Murmu made crucial Constitutional appointments Sunday morning.
The President also appointed a new Lieutenant Governor for the Union Territory of Ladakh.
Last month, eighty-year-old Koshyari told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he wished to step down from the top post.
"Governor Koshyari has expressed his desire to spend the rest of his life in reading, writing and other leisurely activities," read a statement issued by the Raj Bhavan.
Koshyari, an RSS veteran who has served as a Chief Minister and an MP in both Houses of Parliament, was appointed as Maharashtra's Governor in 2019.
During his tenure, he frequently hit headlines over his multiple encounters with the Uddhav Thackeray government and his controversial statements.
