Manipur's Governor Takes Charge of Nagaland Amid Mourning

Ajay Kumar Bhalla, the Governor of Manipur, has been assigned the responsibilities of Nagaland's governor following the death of La Ganesan. Ganesan, a stalwart in the BJP and RSS, died on August 15. His political journey included key roles and governorships in various Indian states.

Amid the loss of Nagaland Governor La Ganesan, Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla has been tasked with the additional responsibility of overseeing Nagaland. This decision followed a Rashtrapati Bhavan announcement, providing Bhalla with an expanded mandate.

The demise of 77-year-old La Ganesan on August 15 in Chennai has generated tributes from across the political spectrum. Ganesan's long-standing association with the RSS and later the BJP, marked a career dedicated to the growth of the party across Tamil Nadu and beyond.

La Ganesan, born in Tanjore, Tamil Nadu, led a distinguished political journey with significant roles including National Secretary and All India Vice President for the BJP, and governorship tenures in Manipur, West Bengal, and Nagaland. His leadership has left an indelible mark in Indian politics.
