Mumbai: The Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) on Thursday congratulated the newly-appointed Governor of Maharashtra, C.P. Radhakrishnan, wishing for his successful stint in office.
On behalf of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Abhay Swarup Swami and Tirth Swarup Swami met the Maharashtra Governor at his official residence and extended greetings.

With more than four decades of experience, Radhakrishnan is a respected figure in Tamil Nadu politics.
He started as an RSS worker and became the state executive committee member of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (predecessor of BJP) in 1974.
