Arif Mohammad Khan Takes Oath as Bihar’s 42nd Governor

Patna witnessed a significant political development as Arif Mohammad Khan was sworn in as the 42nd Governor of Bihar. The oath-taking ceremony was held at the Raj Bhavan, where Patna High Court Chief Justice Krishnan Vinod Chandran administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new Governor.

Arif Mohammad Khan succeeds Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, who has been appointed as the Governor of Kerala. Notably, before assuming his new role in Bihar, Khan served as the Governor of Kerala. His appointment to Bihar marks a historic moment, as the state gets a Muslim Governor after a gap of 26 years. The last Muslim Governor of Bihar was A.R. Kidwai, who held the position from August 14, 1993, to April 26, 1998.

The Union Government officially issued Khan’s appointment letter , marking the beginning of a new chapter in Bihar’s political administration. His assumption of office comes with the hope of fostering inclusive governance and maintaining the dignity of the gubernatorial post in the state.

Arif Mohammad Khan’s distinguished career in public service spans decades, earning him respect as a statesman and administrator. His appointment is being seen as a strategic move by the central government to bring experienced leadership to Bihar. The ceremony was attended by key dignitaries, including state ministers, senior officials, and members of the judiciary.

The return of a Muslim Governor to Bihar is being widely discussed in political circles. This development holds historical significance and is expected to have symbolic implications for the state’s socio-political narrative. Observers believe that Khan’s tenure as Governor will focus on bridging divides and strengthening governance mechanisms in the state.
