On Tuesday, President Droupadi Murmu appointed Hari Babu Kambhampati, the current Governor of Mizoram, as the new Governor of Odisha. The President also accepted the resignation of Raghubar Das, the outgoing Governor of Odisha. This change in leadership marks the conclusion of Das’s tenure as Odisha’s Governor, with Kambhampati set to take over the role.

Raghubar Das, during his time in Odisha, had expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and highlighted his hopes for the state’s future development. Meanwhile, as he departs, Das remains hopeful that the BJP will decide his future role within the party.

Raghubar Das was appointed as the Governor of Odisha on October 18, 2023, taking over the role after serving in various capacities within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His tenure was brief, and on Tuesday, President Droupadi Murmu accepted his resignation. Hari Babu Kambhampati, the current Governor of Mizoram, has been appointed as the new Governor of Odisha.

Das expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve in Odisha, highlighting his positive experiences and his vision for the state’s development. As he steps down, he stated that the BJP would decide his future role within the party, underlining his continued loyalty and service.

Raghubar Das, who assumed the position of Governor of Odisha on October 18, 2023, had a short but impactful tenure in the state. During his time in office, Das visited various places, including the Jagannath Temple in Puri, to offer his prayers before his departure. He spoke fondly of his time in Odisha, recalling the state’s rich culture and the enthusiasm of its people.

In his statements, Das praised the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the state’s double-engine government, which he believes has been pivotal in addressing the needs of the poor and promoting development. His leadership was seen as integral in fostering better relations between the central government and Odisha. As he exits his role, he has placed his trust in the BJP, stating that it would decide his next move, signaling his deep commitment to the party’s objectives and vision.

In a swift political shift, President Droupadi Murmu appointed Hari Babu Kambhampati, the current Governor of Mizoram, to succeed Raghubar Das. This change follows the President’s acceptance of Das’s resignation, marking the end of his brief tenure in Odisha. Kambhampati now takes on the responsibilities of the Governor of Odisha, bringing his experience and expertise to the position.

Raghubar Das’s brief tenure as the Governor of Odisha, beginning on October 18, 2023, saw him immersed in the state’s development issues and culture. His resignation came after just a few months, making way for a new phase in the state’s leadership. Before leaving, Das emphasized that Odisha, with its growing potential, was on the right track toward achieving significant progress. He expressed hope that by 2036, the state would have developed into a model of prosperity as it celebrates its 100th year of formation.

Das’s statement regarding his future was equally noteworthy, as he conveyed that the BJP would decide his next role. With decades of experience in the political field, having served in various capacities within the BJP, he remains confident in the party’s decisions regarding his career. His reflection on the double-engine government model led by PM Modi highlighted the central and state governments’ collaborative efforts in driving change, particularly for Odisha’s underprivileged communities.

In a significant political development, Hari Babu Kambhampati, the current Governor of Mizoram, was appointed as the new Governor of Odisha by President Droupadi Murmu. Kambhampati’s appointment marks a transition in leadership as he steps into the shoes of Raghubar Das, taking up the responsibilities of the office. The change in governance reflects the continuous shift in India’s political landscape as new leaders are brought in to further the goals of development and public welfare across the country.
