On Tuesday, just a day before the cabinet expansion in the central government, President Ram Nath Kovind appointed 8 governors simultaneously. One of them is also Union Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot. He has been made the Governor of Karnataka.
Thawar Chand was a minister in the cabinet from MP quota. It is believed that Thawar Chand has been removed from the cabinet to replace Jyotiraditya Scindia. Thawar Chand, 73, has been a constant member of Modi’s cabinet since he became prime minister in 2014. However, what will be the profile of Scindia, it is not yet decided. It is definitely a discussion that Modi will entrust him with a big responsibility. Till now there were 4 ministers in the Modi cabinet from Madhya Pradesh. Narendra Singh Tomar, Prahlad Patel, Thawar Chand Gehlot and Faggan Singh Kulaste.
