Minister tweets on Swaraj ‘post’, creates flutter
New Delhi, June 10
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Monday night created a buzz after he tweeted that BJP veteran and former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has been appointed as Governor of Andhra Pradesh, which turned out to be not true.
Swaraj took to Twitter denying the news, while Vardhan too deleted his tweet within less than an hour.
“Congratulations to senior BJP leader, my sister and former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj ji on being appointed as Governor of Andhra Pradesh. Your long experience in different fields will be beneficial to the people of the state,” Vardhan's deleted tweet read.
About an hour later, Swaraj tweeted, “The news of my appointment as Governor of Andhra Pradesh is not true.”
A Home Ministry spokesperson also denied the reports about Swaraj being appointed as the Governor. — PTI
