Tamilisai Soundararajan, T elangana governor, resigned on Monday and sent her resignation letter to President Droupadi Murmu. She resigned to take part in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Tamil Nadu.
With effect from today, the Honorable Telangana Governor and Puducherry Lieutenant Governor, Dr. Tamilsai Soundararajan, has offered her resignation. The resignation has been given to the Hon’ble President of India, according to a statement from the Raj Bhavan.
Tamilisai Soundararajan’s resign on day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to address an election campaign in Telangana’s Jagtial and a promotional election campaign in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore.
Tamilisai also resigned as Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry following negotiations with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s national leadership. “She has been asked to be prepared to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Tamil Nadu or Puducherry,” a government source said.
Why Telangana Governor resign?
The official claimed Tamilisai decided after telling Modi, who had remained at the Raj Bhavan on Saturday night. She stated that she wanted to return to active politics by contesting the Lok Sabha elections.
“In all probability, she might contest from Puducherry or Chennai (central) or Tuthukudi. She will take a final call after getting clearance from the BJP national leadership,” the official added.
Earlier in February, Tamilisai, who was the BJP Tamil Nadu unit president before Telangana governor, expressed her desire to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Puducherry but said it was up to Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to decide her role.
After her three-year tenure as lieutenant governor came to an end, Tamilisai told reporters in Puducherry, “I desire to be a people’s representative, but I will abide by the decision of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister.”
Tamilisai stated that she prefers Puducherry since she has always considered it her hometown.
