Sify.com: 2009-12-26 18:20:26 Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh governor N D Tiwari resigned
from his chair on Saturday,  a day after a TV expose showing the senior Congress leader allegedly indulging in sexual escapades in the Raj Bhavan here.

However, according media reports, Tiwari said he is resigning on ‘health grounds’.  But it is being assumed that the 85-year-old’s alleged “sexcapedes” exposed on Friday is the actual reason behind today’s move.

The resignation came a day after Telugu television channel ‘ABTiwari today resigned as Andhra Pradesh Governor in the wake of a raging controversy after a sting operation purportedly showed him in a compromising position with three women.

Zeenews.com stated the following:- The resignation came a day after Telugu television channel ‘ABN Andhra Jyothi’ aired a footage captured in a sting operation of an elderly man with three women in Raj Bhavan in a compromising position, which the channel said was of Tiwari. N Andhra Jyothi’ aired a footage captured in a sting operation of an elderly man with three women in Raj Bhavan in a compromising position, which the channel said was of Tiwari. Chief Security Officer of the Andhra Pradesh Raj Bhavan, Mohammed Shokat Ali has revealed that Sharma “exclusively handled” the visits of the women featuring in the tape.

From Zeenews.com comments: This is really most unfortunate. In his capacity as Chancellor of NTR University of Health Sciences at Vijayawada and Acharya Nagarjuna University near Vijayawada, he failed to attend to the Convocations held at Vijayawada on successive days during 2008 and 2009. On Convocation day in 2008, he visited Puttaparthi and paid his obeisance to Sri Satya Sai Baba. It clearly showed his preferences! He prefers to attend to his personal things rather than to his constitutional duties as the governor of the state. The latest episode of alleged sex scandal involving him is the last straw on the camel`s back. I have not only lost any respect for the incumbent governor for his acts of omissions and commissions, but to the post of Governor it self.

That Sathya Sai Baba accepts the obeisance of N.D. Tiwari, as official Sai web site Sai Radio stated he did in April of 2005, – and has done so for a long time – shows how little his words about keeping good company really mean. How come his constantly self-proclaimed omniscience did not keep him out of the mess? This latest R.D. Tiwari sex scandal is just another embarrassment to Sai Baba, added to his endorsements of criminals like Idi Amin, the disgraced former Italian Prime Minster Bettino Craxi, the liquor baron Bhangarappa and numerous other corrupt and/or criminal officials in the Indian elite and abroad (not least. the dictator King of Nepal who was murdered by his son shortly thereafter).
