Ending uncertainty and political speculation, Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla approved the pending nominations of Minority Welfare Minister Mohammad Azharuddin and Academician M Kodandaram to the Legislative Council under the Governor’s quota.
Although an official announcement is awaited, sources confirmed that the government has received the approval of the governor’s office. The move cleared the way for Mr Azharuddin to continue in the cabinet, just days before the constitutional deadline of April 30, when he must secure membership in either house of the legislature.
