President Droupadi Murmu has accepted the resignation of Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, the Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a statement on Tuesday.

 

It also said that the President is “pleased to appoint CP Radhakrishnan, Governor of Jharkhand, to discharge the functions of the Governor of Telangana and Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry in addition to his own duties until regular arrangements are made.” Soundararajan, who was also the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, tendered her resignation on Monday.

 

“I resigned of my own volition as my desire is to serve the public directly. I want to involve myself in intense public service,” she had said.

The resignation came amid reports of her plans to contest the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls from Tamil Nadu.

 

Soundararajan had contested the 2019 Parliament elections from Thoothukudi seat in southern Tamil Nadu on a BJP ticket and lost to DMK’s Kanimozhi.
