L Ganesan to take charge as Manipur Governor

Senior BJP leader from Tamilnadu L Ganesan was on Sunday appointed as the new governor of Manipur. The post of the governor had fallen vacant after the retirement of Najma Heptulla earlier this month.

A communique from the Rashtrapati Bhavan said Ganesan will be the new Governor of Manipur with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office.

Heptulla had demitted office on August 10 and on the same day the charge was given to Sikkim Governor Ganga Prasad.

L Ganesan becomes the second BJP leader from Tamilnadu to be made the governor of a State in recent years. Former TN BJP president Tamilisai Soundararajan, who was appointed Telangana governor, now holds additional charge as Lt Governor of Puducherry too.
