After retaining power for the second time, BJP has shifted its focus on the Telugu states. In Telangana, the party is expanding its wings slowly while in Andhra Pradesh it is applying different strategy. Accordingly the BJP government has appointed BJP leader Biswabhushan Harichandan as the Governor of AP.
Taking charge as Governor, Biswabhushan in no time started working. He met officials and learned about the political, financial and other aspects of the state. Gathering all the details, Harichandan flew to New Delhi and is likely to meet President, Vice-President, PM Modi, Home minister Amit Shah and other union ministers. But this tour of the Governor has become a hot topic in political circles.
Though Raj Bhavan sources claim that it is a courtesy tour, political experts believe that this is vital trip as he will be in the national capital for three days. However it is yet to be known whether Governor got a call from New Delhi or he went on his own to meet top brass of government.
As joint Governor of the Telugu states, ESL Narasimhan played a crucial role in managing the big issues when Telangana CM and AP CM were in tug-of-war. Harichandan seems to have noted Narasimhan’s work as well and he is likely to take an opinion of BJP leadership on how to react on things that come his way.
