    The incumbent Governor Vajubhai vala possibly out of favour ..who had also requested extension .. Many governors only transferred ...have found new states .... Possibly the recent senate decisions .. University .... Interference vice chancellors post Rajiv Gandhi medical sciences ... The present minister ( health ) had objected .... Also ....editorial in a recent daily ..of a prominent newspaper ... In any case all governors post is colonial hangover Ceremonial .. political tool to control oppositionstates Chief ministers .. like in West Bengal ... Governor usually is ..being .. Kicked upstairs or down stairs based on equations at the centre of power

    "... In any case all governors post is colonial hangover Ceremonial .." Correct !!! Waste of tax payer's money. At the end of their term they become fat and lazy. They don't want leave their post. This post should be reserved to social workers who have done good to the nation and it's people.
