Mizoram governor Kamla Beniwal axed for ‘misuse’ of office in Gujarat
- 5 years ago
In a surprise move, President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday sacked Mizoram governor Kamla Beniwal with barely four months left for her tenure.
Beniwal, who had crossed swords with PM Narendra Modi as Gujarat governor, was only recently transferred to Mizoram. The move had come after a nudge from home secretary Anil Goswami to several UPA-appointed governors to quit did not elicit any response from Beniwal.
Government sources said the decision to sack Beniwal was taken after it came to light that she had misused the governor's office (in Gujarat) to make several unauthorized air travels, including to her home state of Rajasthan, at the expense of the state exchequer. Citing Gujarat Raj Bhavan records, media reports said Beniwal flew out of Gujarat 63 times using the state aircraft between 2011 and 2014. As many as 53 of these trips were to Jaipur.
