Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit was sworn in as the 22nd governor of Kerala at Raj Bhavan here Tuesday. Kerala High Court Chief Justice Manjula Chellur administered the oath of office.
Dikshit replaced Nikhil Kumar who was in office for less than an year (March 23, 2013-March 5, 2014) and was pulled out to allow him to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Bihar.
