New Delhi, Aug 26 (IBNS): Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday resigned as the Governor of Kerala, capping speculations about her removal after the new BJP led government changed governors of several states appointed by the previous UPA regime, said media reports.

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

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.
