Maurya questions seven-year tenure of U.P. Governor
Former Uttar Pradesh Minister Swami Prasad Maurya, leader of the Apni Janta Party, has questioned the prolonged tenure of Governor Anandiben Patel. Maurya called for an "impartial investigation" into Ms. Patel's continued service beyond the five-year term, arguing that no clear directive existed for her extension. The AJP chief also criticized the Governor's decision to reappoint Soniya Nityanand as Vice-Chancellor of King George's Medical University.
While there are no formal allegations against Nityanand, Maurya questioned her reappointment, citing accusations of corruption and a disregard for reservation rules. He highlighted the broader issue of unequal representation and justice for SC/ST/OBC communities when such rules are not followed.
