K. Sankaranarayanan, Governor of Maharashtra has announced his resignation after he has been abruptly transferred to Mizoram for the rest of his term.
“I have sent my resignation to President Pranab Mukherjee,” Sankaranarayanan told media persons at Raj Bhavan here. Justifying his decision, the 82-year-old Congress leader said he had “respected the Constitution” by submitting his resignation.
“During my tenure here as governor, and even earlier in Jharkhand and Nagaland, I never brought politics into my functioning,” Sankaranarayanan said.
