Stalin said although Maharashtra Governor will be holding additional charge of the state, his experience as a Minister in the A B Vajpayee-led BJP government "will be of great help to the people of Tamil Nadu."
"I wholeheartedly welcome Vidyasagar Rao who has taken over as Governor," he said in a statement.
Rao was sworn-in as Acting Governor of Tamil Nadu at a ceremony held at the Raj Bhavan here, yesterday.
He has been given the additional charge of Tamil Nadu as the tenure of K Rosaiah as the Governor ended on August 30.
