Jharkhand Governor C. P. Radhakrishnan took oath as the Governor of Telangana today.
Chief justice of Telangana High Court Alok Aradhe administered the oath of office to Radhakrishnan at a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan.
Radhakrishnan was given additional charge of Telangana and Puducherry after the resignation of Tamilisai Soundararajan, who plans to contest the Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu.
He is the third Governor of Telangana. A two-time member of parliament from Coimbatore as a BJP candidate, he assumed office of the governor of Jharkhand last year.
Interestingly, all three governors of Telangana since the state’s formation in 2014 are from Tamil Nadu. ESL Narasimhan and Tamilisai Soundararajan were also from Tamil Nadu.
