Just like his government, Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari is also in the eye of a storm. An expose allegedly showing Tiwari in a compromising position with girls at Raj Bhavan has raised a stink, with opposition parties demanding he be immediately sacked.
Women groups are now demanding Governor Narayan Dutt Tiwari's ouster from Raj Bhavan in Hyderabad. This after a private Telugu channel aired photograph that allegedly showed Tiwari in a compromising position with several girls, who the channel claimed worked at Raj Bhavan.
After a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), the Andhra Pradesh High court asked the channel to stop telecast of the visuals. Raj Bhavan said the TV programme was 'fabricated, false and malicious', aimed at tarnishing the image of the Governor.
"He degraded it. It is not we. It is the Governor who has to answer for being involved in such acts," said A Radhakrishna, Editor, Andhra Jyoti.
The Opposition has demanded that Tiwari be sacked.
"Today what they have shown is very bad and everybody should be ashamed of it. I demand that immediately the Governor should resign or otherwise the Government of India should sack him," said Chandrababu Naidu, Leader of the Opposition.
The government was reluctant to react.
When NDTV asked Andhra home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy about the icnident she slammed the door of her car.
The expose comes at a time when there is speculation on whether the state will come under President's rule and on whether a new incumbent will occupy Raj Bhavan.
