Jaipur: Outgoing Rajasthan Governor Margaret Alva is planning to release her autobiography in next few months detailing her journey “from a middle class family to Raj Bhawan” and the Congress veteran insists that she is “not writing the book to create a controversy”.
72-year-old Alva, who completed her tenure as Rajasthan Governor today, says the book will be about how she got into public life at a time when women were not welcomed in politics and her experience in the last 45 years in the country and at the international level.
However, she says that the book will not be a controversy creator and is not for hitting headlines. “I am not writing the book to create a controversy or to make it a bestseller. I hope to finish in next 4-5 months,” she told reporters at Raj Bhawan here, days after the release of another Congress veteran Natwar Singh's autobiography ‘One Life is Not Enough' created a political storm.
Alva said she has not thought about returning to active politics and her “election phase” was over. “There is no dearth of causes and issues. I will do what is given to me. I have not thought about returning to active politics but I can say that my election phase is over,” she said.
Guv Naik to take charge of Rajasthan as Alva completes tenure New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik and Gujarat Governor Om Prakash Kohli will take additional responsibilities of Rajasthan and Goa as Margaret Alva completed her tenure today.
A Rashtrapati Bhavan communique said that Naik, Governor of Uttar Pradesh, will discharge the functions of the Governor of Rajasthan, in addition to his own duties, until regular arrangements.
Similarly, Kohli, Governor of Gujarat, will be discharging the functions of the Governor of Goa, in addition to his own duties, until regular arrangements are made, it said.
72-year-old Alva completed her tenure as Governor of Rajasthan today. She had been given additional charge of Goa after B V Wanchoo submitted his resignation on July four last month.
