New Delhi, Aug 26 (IBNS) Ending all speculations, Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday confirmed she has resigned as the Governor of Kerala.

"I have given my resignation," Dikshit told media.

Dikshit stepped down after meeting Union Home minister Rajnath Singh and President Pranab Mukherjee in Delhi on Monday.

The new BJP led government changed governors of several states appointed by the previous UPA regime.

On Sunday, Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan tendered his resignation after he was transferred to Mizoram.

Speaking on the issue of his transfer,  Sankaranarayanan told media: " "It is not possible for me to go to Mizoram."

"As a Governor I have never played any politics. I was friendly with all political parties, friendly with the BJP also," he said.

Earlier Kamla Beniwal was shifted from Mizoram as governor. Beniwal was before that the governor of Gujarat when she was on a confrontational path with then chief minister Narendra Modi.
