It is quite common to replace the governors appointed by previous government once a new government comes to power. It happened with NDA government too. They have almost removed Congress Governor candidates and appointed their candidates. But the governor of Andhra Pradesh ESL Narasimhan was continued due to his track record when he dealt the Telangana agitation times.
Modi thought his experience will work dealing with the issue that would crop up between both the Telugu states after the state bifurcation. As expected issues cropped up and all of them reached Governor for possible solution. But in most cases, Narasimhan was non-committal about any issue and nothing was solved due to his interference.
There are growing demands that he should be replaced immediately with some one with a stern action. It is said that even the government heads are not happy with him and summoned him to Delhi. Narasimhan will be touring Delhi today and tomorrow. We will have to see if he is sent out! Or while he become more stern going forward!
