President Droupadi Murmu has appointed governors in 12 states and a union territory while accepting the resignations of Bhagat Singh Koshyari as governor of Maharashtra and Radha Krishnan Mathur as lieutenant governor of Ladakh, according to a government press release on Sunday.

Koshyari Steps Down Amid Controversy

Koshyari's resignation comes on the heels of the recent controversy over his comment on Chhatrapati Shivaji. The Indian Express reported in November that the governor had stated that Chhatrapati Shivaji was an icon of 'olden days' and referred to Babasaheb Ambedkar and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari while talking about 'icons' in the state, which drew criticism from the NCP and the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of Shiv Sena.

Later in January, Koshyari, 81, tweeted that he had conveyed to the Prime Minister that he wished to resign and devote time to reading and writing.
