Devvrat and his wife, Darshana Devi, traveled to Mumbai from Ahmedabad by the Tejas Express. Upon his arrival at the Mumbai Central railway station, the Governor was accorded a ceremonial Guard of Honour by the Railway Police, and the Mumbai police provided similar honors at Raj Bhavan.
President Droupadi Murmu had earlier this week appointed Acharya Devvrat to discharge the functions of the Governor of Maharashtra, in addition to his duties in Gujarat. This appointment came after the previous Governor, C P Radhakrishnan, demitted office on Thursday due to his election as the next Vice-President of India.
C P Radhakrishnan, who was 67 years old at the time of his nomination as the vice-presidential candidate by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), won the vice-presidential election on Tuesday, defeating the joint opposition nominee B Sudershan Reddy by a margin of 152 votes. The election was necessitated by the sudden resignation of the earlier Vice-President, Jagdeep Dhankhar, on July 21.
The appointment of Acharya Devvrat to the additional role of Governor of Maharashtra ensures a smooth transition of power and maintains the administrative stability of the state. The new Governor is expected to play a crucial role in the governance of Maharashtra, working closely with the state government to address the needs and challenges of the people.
Acharya Devvrat's experience and leadership will be valuable assets in his new role, as he continues to serve the people of both Gujarat and Maharashtra with dedication and integrity.
