The Centre is showing no signs of compromise with the Congress-appointed Governors and stood in the position that they must resign.
The Congress leader-turned Governors are on a path of collision and have maintained that they will not remit their offices unless the Centre gives them written orders.
Those who are obeying the informal telephonic orders of the Home Secretary Anil Goswami are bureaucrat-turned Governors. After former IPS officer and Uttar Pradesh Governor BL Joshi's resignation, former defence secretary and Chhattisgarh Governor Shekhar Dutt had resigned on Wednesday.
There are rumours that West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan will also put in his papers soon. Pressure is mounting on Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung too, as a section of the State BJP is unhappy with his actions. He had recently sent a team of officers to Gujarat to study the 'Gujarat model' of administration, an effort dubbed as a step to woo the Narendra Modi regime.
There are reports that Nagaland Governor Ashwani Kumar may follow suit.
