As a precursor to the Cabinet reshuffle expected later this week, the government Tuesday transferred or appointed governors of eight states. One of the major changes included the appointment of Union Minister Thaawarchand Gehlot as the Governor of Karnataka.
Gehlot, who served as the Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, had also been the Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha since 2019. His appointment as Governor has left three vacancies—in the cabinet, Rajya Sabha, and the BJP parliamentary board, the apex decision-making body of the party. The Union Government will have to find Gehlot's replacement in the Upper House with the monsoon session of Parliament commencing on July 19.
