The Madya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan paid his homage to Jayalalitha at Rajaji Hall and he was about to leave. At that time, L. Ganesan grabbed Shivraj Singh Chouhan and introduced the CM to Sasikala.
For real, L. Ganesan couldn't get the title Governor. At least, let us have it for this article.
From the book It took a village to kill Jayalalitha

After a long thinking, Tamilisai decided to consult with L. Ganesan and went to L. Ganesan’s home. L. Ganesan was surprised and welcomed Tamilisai. L. Ganesan appreciated Tamilisai’s performance as the state president of BJP.
L. Ganesan has been expecting a reward from Narendra Modi. The reward may be a Governor post. L. Ganesan assumed that Tamilisai had brought the message from Amit Shah. All of L. Ganesan’s family members were anxiously looking through the windows. L. Ganesan sensed the hesitation of Tamilisai and tried to ease her out.
L. Ganesan asked, “Tamilisai, have you brought message from Amit Shah?”
Tamilisai was surprised and asked, “Had Amitbhai already talked to you about the new assignment?”
L. Ganesan said, “No, Amit Shah didn’t directly talk to me. All my friends keep asking when I am going to be the Governor. You know that it has been long pending. You went to Delhi yesterday and today you are in my house. Which state do I need to go? Hopefully, it is not far off states, such as Sikkim, Nagaland, Bhutan or Nepal.”
L. Ganesan family members whispered, “Bhutan, Nepal? Thank Goodness. Dad didn’t mention as Governor of Jaffna or Governor of Trincomalee.”
Tamilisai heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Sorry, I have not brought any such news.”
L. Ganesan signaled his family members with thump-down sign and they were disappointed.
With hesitation, Tamilisai started the conversation and said, “Modiji has initiated the work for the next parliament election. Modiji wants to be re-elected as the Prime Minister of India. In fact, Modiji wants to be the Prime Minister forever.”
L. Ganesan was shocked and said, “Oh, okay. But, that is not possible. How could a person be the Prime Minister forever in democracy? No party could be in power continuously. It is a democratic nation. Last election BJP won; next election Congress may win; then, the next after BJP will come back to power.”
Tamilisai asked, “Do you think Congress will win the next election?”
L. Ganesan replied, “No, certainly not. Most probably, Jayalalitha and other regional parties will form a coalition government.”
Tamilisai asked, “In that case, who will be the next Prime Minister?”
L. Ganesan replied, “Jayalalitha. No doubt about it.”
Tamilisai said, “Modiji and Amitbhai understood this fact and they wanted to change this outcome.”
L. Ganesan said, “How could you change the outcome of the next parliament election? It is obvious, no one could stop Jayalalitha from becoming the Prime Minister, except one person”
Tamilisai curiously asked, “Who is that one person?”
L. Ganesan replied, “That is Yemen; the god of death. Jayalalitha has serious medical problems. If she dies, then Narendra Modi could be re-elected as the Prime Minister and he could be the Prime Minister forever and ever.”
Now, with a sense of achievement, Tamilisai said, “That is the message from Amitbhai.”
L. Ganesan asked, “Do you want me to kill Jayalalitha to get a Governor post? You know, I am not familiar with Gujarat style politics.”
Tamilisai said, “Me either. But we have no other options. We need to obey the orders of these two Guajarati. Otherwise, they will eliminate us. Glad, I am not alone and I find you for this operation. Together, let us do it. Are you in?”
L. Ganesan said, “Yeah, I am in. Otherwise, I will be the next visitor to Yemen. What is the next step?”
After a few weeks...
Tamilisai called Amit Shah over phone and said, “Amitbhai, the operation is success. Jayalalitha is in Apollo.”
Amit Shah congratulated and said, “Congratulation Tamilisai. You and Ganesanji did a wonderful job. We appreciate you both. Keep up the good work.”
Tamilisai said, “Thank you, Amitbhai. We need to give some responsible position to Ganesan sir. L. Ganesan deserves to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.”
Amit Shah said, “No. Jayalalithaji is an iron lady. She needs to be replaced with another iron lady from Tamil cinema. People of Tamil Nadu will accept only that option and will reject all other options. We have already identified an iron lady from Tamil cinema and have started the training process. Soon, Modiji will introduce the next iron lady and make an announcement.”
Tamilisai said, “Could we get a Governor post for Ganesan? He deserves a responsible post for his service to the party.”
Amit Shah said, “Let me talk to Modiji and get back to you right away.”
Amit Shah called Narendra Modi and said, “Modiji, for Tamil Nadu operation, L. Ganesan did a wonderful performance and he deserved a Governor post.”
Narendra Modi said, “Amit, L. Ganesan is an old party worker and I do appreciate his service to the party and his dedication for this execution. But, he will not qualify for the modern government management. He is a dead weight in the BJP ship. What do we do with all those dead weights?”
Amit Shah said, “We gave a Rajya Sabha seat to Subramanian Swamy. Could we give a Rajya Sabha seat to L. Ganesan?”
Narendra Modi said, “Sounds good to me.”
Amit Shah called Tamilisai back and said, “Could you ask L. Ganesan to go to Madhya Pradesh and file his papers for a Rajya Sabha seat?”
Tamilisai said, “Thank you, Amitbhai. I will inform L.Ganesan about his Rajya Sabha MP. L. Ganesan will be the best Minister.”
Amit Shah wanted to say that L. Ganesan would be Rajya Sabha MP only and would not become a central minister; but he didn’t want to destroy Tamilisai’s imagination.
Tamilisai said, “Ganesan sir, Amit Shah said no Governor post for you. You are going to be a central minister. You need to go to Madhya Pradesh and file your papers for Rajya Sabha seat.”
Ganesan went home and shared his joy with his family members. One of his friends reminded L. Ganesan and he said, “Subramanian Swamy also thought that he was going to be a minister. But it never happens. Likewise, you’re going to be in the Rajya Sabha only. Don’t imagine that you will be a minister.”
L. Ganesan went to Madhya Pradesh and filed his papers for the Rajya Sabha seat.
