Rajendra Arlekar has been sworn in as the new governor of Kerala during a ceremony at the Raj Bhavan. Previously the governor of Himachal Pradesh, Arlekar brings a wealth of administrative and political experience to his new position in the southern state.
The event was attended by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, cabinet ministers, and various dignitaries. After taking the oath, Arlekar expressed his gratitude for the chance to serve Kerala and committed to fulfilling the constitutional responsibilities of his office. “Kerala is a state rich in cultural heritage and significance. I am dedicated to working towards its progress and prosperity,” he remarked.
At the same time, Arif Mohammed Khan, who was the governor of Kerala, has been appointed as the governor of Bihar. Renowned for his articulate nature and profound understanding of constitutional issues, Khan is anticipated to offer a new perspective on governance in Bihar.
This reshuffling of governors signifies a strategic initiative by the central government to place experienced leaders in crucial roles across various states. Both appointments highlight the need for continuity in governance and the importance of utilizing the expertise of seasoned administrators to tackle state-specific challenges.
