July 09, 2014 19:21

Kerala Governor Sheila Dikshit today denied receiving any hint from the Centre to quit and said she was not aware of any move to transfer her out of Thiruvananthapuram Rajbhavan.

"No", she said here when asked whether she was sounded by anyone in the Central government to put in papers after the NDA government assumed power last month.

Dikshit, a former Chief Minister of Delhi, today met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh and described them as "courtesy call" and "good meetings".

Asked whether she was aware of any move by the Centre to transfer her from Kerala to a state in Northeast, Dikshit said she did not know what would happen in future.

"I do not know what will happen in next 10 days or 10 months," she told reporters after meeting the Home Minister.
