President Ram Nath Kovind appointed Haryana BJP leader, Professor Ganeshi Lal Governor of Odisha today.
According to a Rashtrapati Bhavan communiqué, Lal will take over as the new Governor of Odisha, a post which had fallen vacant in March this year after veteran Naga leader, SC Jamir completed his tenure.
“The President of India is pleased to appoint Prof Ganeshi Lal to be the Governor of Odisha with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office,” the communiqué said.
Lal is the former chief of BJP’s Haryana unit.
