Assam CM Tarun Gogoi writes to Pranab Mukherjee, demands Governor's removal

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Saturday requested President Pranab Mukherjee for his immediate intervention in replacing acting Governor Padmanabha Balakrishna Acharya. The BJP, however, on Saturday came out in support of Acharya, saying there was no possibility of his removal.

Acharya has been holding the charge of acting Assam governor along with Nagaland.
