The Centre on Monday effected a gubernatorial reshuffle, announcing the appointment of senior TDP leader Pusapati Ashok Gajapathi Raju as the Governor of Goa, senior West Bengal BJP leader Ashim Kumar Ghosh as Governor of Haryana, and former Jammu & Kashmir deputy chief minister Kavinder Gupta as the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh.
A senior BJP hand from J&K with early ties to the RSS, who served as Deputy CM during a three-month stint in 2018 as part of the PDP-BJP government, Gupta takes over from Brig (Dr) B D Mishra (retd).
With Ladakh becoming a Union territory after it was split from J&K as part of the August 2019 changes, Gupta is the third occupant of its Raj Bhavan.
Raju, a former Union Minister of Civil Aviation, relieves senior Kerala BJP leader P S Sreedharan Pillai as Goa Governor.
