Governor of Telangana and Lt Guv of Puducherry, Tamilisai Soundararajan also extended her greetings to Ganesan.
In her message, Soundararajan said she was glad that “the senior BJP leader from Tamil Nadu and my elder brother whom I always hold in high esteem has been appointed the Governor of Manipur.”
She said that the experience and administrative capability of Ganesan would be of great help for the development of Manipur.
Ganesan, a former BJP state president, was on Sunday appointed as the new Governor of Manipur after the post had fallen vacant due to the retirement of Najma Heptullah earlier this month.
A communique from the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi said Ganesan will be the new “Governor of Manipur with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office”.
