Andhra Pradesh governor N D Tiwari on Saturday resigned from his post in the wake of the controversy over the sex tape purportedly showing him in a compromising position with three women.
The 86-year-old leader cited ‘health reasons’ for quitting.
According to Times Now, the Congress party today welcomed the move and said that Tiwari has taken a ‘moral stand’ by resigning.Earlier, Congress high command held an emergency meeting in New Delhi over the Tiwari ‘sex tape’ issue.
This is not the first time that Tiwari, a former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and a former Union Minister, has figured in controversies involving women.
Sometime ago, a lawyer Rohit Shekhar had filed a paternity suit in Delhi High Court against Tiwari claiming that he was born out of intimate relationship between the Congress leader and his mother Ujwala Sharma. The charge was, however, denied by the Governor. The Delhi High Court, however, had rejected the petition on the ground that Shekhar filed it a long time after becoming a major and was time-barred.
