Thiruvananthapuram | Outgoing Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday met with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar at his official residence here.

Vijayan met the Governor and both leaders expressed gratitude to each other, a Lok Bhavan statement said.

Arlekar also extended warm wishes and good health to the Marxist veteran and his family, it said.

Vijayan had tendered his resignation to the Governor a day after the Assembly poll results were declared on May 4.

The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) returned to power in Kerala in the April 9 Assembly elections with a decisive mandate, ending the CPI(M)-led LDF's tenure in the state.
