PANAJI: Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, a former governor of Bihar, was sworn in as the governor of Kerala. Rajendra was the governor of Bihar before. Additionally, he was the first Goan to hold the office of Governor of Himachal Pradesh.
Chief Justice Nitin Madhukar Jamdar of the Kerala High Court administered the oath to the Governor at Raj Bhavan at 10:30 AM.
“Wherever I go, I don’t try to have any confrontation with the government. I am going there to assist the government. It is not to guide or pass any direction, nothing of that sort,” he said in a statement.
“I met the newly appointed Governor of Kerala, @rajendraarlekar, at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport,” Vijayan wrote in a post on X. Looking forward to collaborating in the spirit of unity and growth in Kerala.”
President Droupadi Murmu named Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar the new governor of Kerala on December 21. Arif Mohammad Khan, the departing governor of Kerala, was also named governor of Bihar.
Yesterday he met Goa Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai at Goa Raj Bhavan. Later speaking to the media, Arlekar said he went to meet Pillai as he wanted to learn more about Kerala before assuming office.
”Before going to Kerala, I wanted to hear a lot about Kerala from P S Sreedharan Pillai because he is from Kerala, so that I can go there and work properly; I will make full use of whatever he has told me,” Arlekar told the media in Goa.
