“So the question of non-performance does not arise in my case,” he told the media.

“When I completed 75 years, I told the leadership that they can take any decision about me…This time when I offered to resign, the Prime Minister got emotional,” Mishra said.

Mishra said the Prime Minister told him that they will take a decision on how to utilise his capacity.

Asked if it meant he would be made a Governor, Mishra said: “Whatever decision the central leadership takes, I will abide by it.”
