Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Wednesday was sworn-in as the Governor of Goa. He took his oath in Konkani and the same was administered by Chief Justice of Bombay High Court Justice Dipankar Datta.
Koshyari, who is the Governor of Maharashtra, assumed the additional charge as Goa Governor. President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday transferred Satya Patil Malik and appointed him as the Governor of Meghalaya. Malik served as the Goa Governor for less than a year.
During Koshyari’s oath ceremony as Goa Governor, Chief Minster Pramod Sawant along with Leader of Opposition (LoP) Digambar Kamat were present. The oath ceremony was held at Raj Bhavan in Panaji.
Koshyari took oath as the Governor of Maharashtra on September 5 and replaced C Vidyasagar Rao. Koshyari has also served as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand.
Meanwhile, Malik will replace Tathagata Roy who served as Meghalaya Governor for two-years and as Governor of Tripura for three-years. Malik was sworn-in as Goa Governor on November 4 last year and Chief Justice (Bombay HC) Pradeep Nandrajog administered his oath.
This is Malik’s third transfer in the past one year. Earlier, he was the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir which have now become Union Territories after the abrogation of Article 370.
