‘We were posted as Governors by PM and Home Minister recognising our talents’: Telengana Governor

Chennai, Feb 20 (BPNS)

The Lieutenant Governor of Telangana and holding additional charge of Puducherry, Dr. Tamilisai Sounderarajan has said that even as the people of Tamil Nadu failed to elect certain candidates from the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister, Amit Shah recognized their talents and appointed them as Governors.

The Lieutenant Governor was responding to a question by a journalist at Coimbatore on the centre appointing former State BJP leaders from Tamil Nadu as Governors under the context of former Tamil Nadu state president C.P. Radhakrishnan being appointed the Governor of Jharkhand.

Tamilsai Sounderarajan said, “ The people of  Tamil Nadu did not recognize our leadership skills. If they had elected us, we would have made ministers, but we were not voted to become MPs by the people. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah gave us  Governor postings as they didn’t want to waste our talents. It is not our fault. People should recognize our administrative skills. They must identify good people and talents.”

The Lieutenant Governor while speaking at a function organized by the PSG group of colleges to celebrate the staff day celebrations, said that the event was to encourage the workers and that she would recommend the Telangana and Puducherry governments to conduct staff day celebrations.
