Steps to replace JP Rajkhowa!

The Centre is preparing to replace JP Rajkhowa as Arunachal Pradesh Governor who mired in no less controversy of his alleged role in the trouble torn political landscape.

Top sources confirmed Assam Times that Rajkhowa who was on leave on health ground has been receiving requests from the home ministry to quit which would pave the way for a fresh one.

But Rajkhowa, a former Assam Chief Secretary  is not interested to quit which would impede the Centre’s preparation to again ensure a BJP-led Government in the north eastern state.

“A section of BJP leaders has been talking to the Congress legislators to make Pema Khandu a BJP Chief Minister,” said sources in Delhi.

Rajkhowa failed to efficiently deal with the crisis, the Centre wants him to go,” said the senior party leader.

If Rajkhowa refuses to change his position he would be rehabilitated in other state.
