Gogoi’s nomination has definitely caused eyebrows to be raised, said the CM, adding that any sensible person would be against such a move by the Government.
The NDA government appointed another former CJI, P Sathasivam, as Governor of Kerala in 2014, a few months after he demitted office.
The Home Ministry had on Monday issued a notification announcing that President Ram Nath Kovind is nominating Gogoi to fill the vacancy originating due to retirement of one of the nominated members.

The apex court is expected to announce a verdict in the 134-year-old title suit before Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi leaves office on November 17.
Earlier this month, CJI Ranjan Gogoi had written to the Government recommending Justice SA Bobde as his successor.
The Muslim side in their submission has insisted that the decision by the Court, whichever way it goes, will impact future generations and will also have consequences for the polity of this country.
Justice Gogoi, who was sworn in as the 46th Chief Justice of India on October 3, 2018, will demit the office on November 17.
Concluding the arguments, the apex court said that the rest of the submissions can be made in written form in the next three days.
