At present, Gujarat Governor Om Prakash Kohli holds the additional charge of Madhya Pradesh. He was given the additional responsibility after Ram Naresh Yadav's tenure ended on September 7 last year.
Leader of opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly Ajay Singh today wrote a letter to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking a full-time Governor for the state.
"On June 25, the Election Commission of India (ECI) ordered the disqualification of state public relations minister, Narottam Mishra, for allegedly filing wrong account of his poll expenditure during the 2008 assembly elections in the state," Singh said.
The delegation of Congress MLAs also tried to meet the governor, he said.

"Since there is no permanent governor in Madhya Pradesh, it has become difficult for the delegation of Congress MLAs to meet the governor," he stated.
Singh said that being the constitutional head of the state, the governor should be available for the people of the state.
The leader of opposition said the Congress also wanted to apprise the governor about the farmers' distress in the state as "61 cultivators have ended their lives in the state in the past 28 days".
