UPA GOVERNORS ON WAY OUT: 2 QUIT
NEW DELHI: The Centre has asked some of the Governors appointed during UPA regime to quit in the wake of change of government. Heeding the call, two governors have resigned - BL Joshi of Uttar Pradesh and HR Bhardwaj of Karnataka, according to reports. Though there is no official confirmation yet, many other Governors have resigned or are about to resign. The Narendra Modi government has sounded out nearly 12 Governors appointed by its predecessor to resign. So far,
two have obliged. Some others denied reports that they would quit but they came and met President Pranab Mukherjee. "If I were in their place, I would have resigned," said Home Minister Rajnath Singh. In its plans for governors, the government has created two categories: those who have more than two years left in office should exit; seven others who have nearly completed their terms will be spared.
