Hyderabad: Telangana former Governor E. S.L. Narasimhan paid a courtesy call on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy at the Secretariat here on Saturday.

On the occasion, the Chief Minister honoured Narasimhan with a shawl and a bouquet of flowers.

E. S. L. Narasimhan served as the first Governor of Telangana, and later succeeded by the current Governor Dr Soundararajan in 2019.

He set a record of sorts by continuing as the Governor of the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh and at the helm of affairs in the two successor States even after bifurcation for over nine-and-a-half years.

Narasimhan played a crucial role at the time of formation of separate State on June 2, 2014, and afterwards when he was made the Governor of the two successor Telugu States.

As a Governor, he took the initiative in convening the meetings of then two Chief Ministers – K Chandrasekhar Rao of Telangana and N Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh – to resolve the pending issues between the two States.
