N D Tiwari resigns as Andhra Governor

Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari, who has been embroiled in a sex scandal after a channel showed a video clip, alleging that the Governor was indulging in sex escapades has resigned from the constitutional post.

The reason for his resignation was purportedly given to be health issues. Senior Congress leaders have welcomed the move by N D Tiwari and said that this decision was appropriate in view of the importance of the constitutional post of the Governor.

Congress spokesperson said that his decision was in line with the highest level of conduct expected from senior party leaders.

Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari was in the centre of the alleged sex scandal after a Telugu channel telecast video clips showing his escapades with three women. Andhra Jyothi channel showed the video on Friday morning claiming the clips were shot in one of the bedrooms of Raj Bhawan.

The telecast of the video was however stopped after the Andhra Pradesh high court issued an injunction. However, the channel had by then shown the video clip for at least an hour and it showed an elderly person, which the channel claimed was N D Tiwari having romps with three women.

The telecast has led to shock and anger among the people in the state and most of the opposition parties have demanded that either the Governor should be sacked or he should quit from the post. Tiwari, however, has denied that he was part of any any such activity
