News about my appointment as Guv of AP not true: Swaraj

Sushma Swaraj denied reports of her being appointed as the governor of Andhra Pradesh. Notably, a fake news was being circulated on social media that Swaraj would be appointed as AP's governor.

New Delhi: Senior BJP leader and former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday sought to scotch speculation about her appointment as Andhra Pradesh governor, saying such reports are not true.

"The news about my appointment as Governor of Andhra Pradesh is not true," she tweeted.

Her comments came after a tweet by Union minister Harsh Vardhan congratulating her on the "appointment" as new Andhra governor triggered speculation. Harsh Vardhan deleted his tweet later.
