The frequent changes in the incumbents of the Raj Bhjavan at Aizawl
has caused many controversy in Mizoram, with political and student
leaders condemning the state being used as a “dumping ground” of
UPA-appointed Governors the BJP-led government wants to sideline or force out of office.
When President Mukherjee visited the state in April, he was greeted by students sporting posters protesting the frequent changes and were seen draped in traditional shawls of mourning.
