Banwarilal Purohit also resigned as Chandigarh Administrator
Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit resigned from his post on Saturday citing ‘personal reasons’. “Due to my personal reasons and certain other commitments, I tender my resignation from the post of the Governor of Punjab, and Administrator, Union Territory, Chandigarh, ” Purohit said in a letter.
The resignation comes amid a word of war between Purohit and the ruling AAP government in Punjab. He had written a series of letters to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann seeking clarifications on several issues pertaining to the state.
A three-time MP (twice from the Congress and once from the BJP) from Nagpur, Purohit had earlier served as the governor of Tamil Nadu and Assam.
