Former Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla has been appointed as the new Governor of Manipur by President Draupadi Murmu on Tuesday (December 24, 2024) in the latest gubernatorial appointments and reshuffle in five states.
The other significant appointment is that former Union Minister Gen V.K. Singh (Retd) is being made the new Governor of Mizoram, while Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has been sent to Bihar.
The appointment at the Manipur Raj Bhavan is significant as the state has gone through several months of ethnic conflict between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribes since May 2023. Anusuiya Uikey was the last full-time Governor of the state and since July 2024, Assam Governor Laxman Prasad Acharya was holding the additional charge.
The swapping of governors in Kerala is another politically significant move. Mr Khan has been at loggerheads with the Left Front government in the state on a regular basis. So, while he has been transferred to Bihar, the current Governor of Bihar Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has been appointed as the new Governor of Kerala.
