Suspense continues over the fate of E S L Narasimhan as Telangana governor, after the Centre appointed a separate Governor for Andhra Pradesh.
Soon after senior BJP leader from Odisha Bishwa Bhushan Harichandan was appointed as AP Governor, there was a talk that the Centre would soon replace Narasimhan, too, in Telangana.
Lending credence to the speculations, Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao went to Raj Bhavan and discussed the possibility of his transfer.
But on Saturday, the Centre appointed six more Governors – Anandiben Patel for Uttar Pradesh, Jagdeep Dhankhar for West Bengal, Ramesh Bais for Tripura, Lal Ji Tandon for Madhya Pradesh, Phagu Chauhan for Bihar and R N Ravi for Nagaland.
Narasimhan’s name doesn’t figure anywhere nor was there any new Governor for Telangana. It led to the talk that the Centre has decided to retain Narasimhan for Telangana, as he is familiar with the Telangana politics.
Though he was appointed by the UPA government in 2012, Narasimhan of late has come closer to the BJP leadership, thanks to his association with National Security Adviser Ajith Doval.
May be, the Centre might also be looking for a right choice for Telangana, as the BJP leadership is looking for capturing power in the state by 2023!
