At a special ceremony organised for Harichandan, who would soon assume office of Chhattisgarh Governor, Reddy hailed his guidance to the southern state for more than three years. "At a time when the relations between state governments and Governors are marred by controversies, Harichandan brought more decorum and dignity to the gubernatorial post by facilitating utmost coordination between various constitutional bodies," said an official statement quoting the Chief Minister.

According to the press note, Harichandan was a five-time MLA and a four-term minister in Odisha. He was also an educationist, legal expert, freedom fighter and a writer, who left a lasting impression as an able administrator, said Reddy.  The CM emphasised that the Governor guided the state like a father, gentleman and a well-wisher by showing utmost love and affection towards AP people.
