President Murmu Appoints Governors Highlighting OBC and SC Representation Across States
President Droupadi Murmu appointed four new governors and transferred two others across six states, emphasizing representation from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Other Backward Classes (OBC). Notable appointees include Dushyant Gautam (Jatav, SC) as Governor of Sikkim, Braj Mohan Ram (Dhobi, SC) as Governor of Odisha, Sudha Yadav (Yadav, OBC) as Governor of Karnataka, and Dhal Singh Bisen (Pawar community) as Governor of Uttarakhand. These appointments reflect the BJP's strategy to broaden caste-based support ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, with additional transfers involving Kerala and Tamil Nadu governors.
