Bangalore: Karnataka governor H R Bhardwaj, on Tuesday said that reports of him resigning from his post are baseless. Earlier reports surfaced that he has met President Pranab Mukherjee to submit his resignation.
While Uttar Pradesh Governor tendered his resignation, sources say that all Governors appointed by the Congress are likely to submit their resignation too and those who refuse to resign could be transferred by the government.
However Karanataka Governor HR Bharadwaj denied reports that they will resign from their posts. “No one asked me for it and I won’t resign. Meeting President was a courtesy call,” said Bhardwaj.
According to sources, the Centre was planning to remove 5 governors including Bhardwaj. Others included the governors of Kerala, Punjab, Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.
