Punjab governor and Chandigarh administrator Banwarilal Purohit resigned today from his post, citing personal reasons.
He had been holding the office since August 2021. The resignation comes a day after Purohit met union home minister Amit Shah in Delhi.
In his official letter to president Droupadi Murmu, Purohit wrote: “Due to my personal reasons and certain other commitments, I tender my resignation from the post of the governor of Punjab and administrator, union territory, Chandigarh. Please accept the same and oblige.”
The resignation comes in the wake of a war of words between Purohit and chief minister Bhagwant Mann over clarifications on several issues.
Three-time MP Purohit had served as the governor of Tamil Nadu in 2016 and governor of Assam in 2017.
