The Chief Minister's visit came a day after the Governor's claims on Agriculture Minister Chandra Kumar's allegation that Raj Bhavan was delaying a bill related to the appointment of university chancellors.
It is also learned that the Governor is reportedly upset over the Congress government's lack of initiative to commemorate International Yoga Day on June 21.
After the meeting that lasted more than 30 minutes, Chief Minister Sukhu admitted to the media that "a misunderstanding has arisen due to lack of communication."
He also accepted that the Governor's discomfort on some issues was justified and assured that this will not happen in the future.
“There was negligence on the occasion of International Yoga Day and it will not be repeated in the future,” he said.
Officials aware of the developments told IANS that the Chief Minister assured the Governor that communication with Raj Bhavan would be maintained in future.
The Chief Minister also told the media that there was a detailed discussion on the appointment of venture capitalists for CSK Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University in Palampur and Himachal Pradesh University in Shimla.
"The file related to the appointment of vice-chancellor of Himachal University reached the government from Raj Bhawan a month ago and is in the hands of the Law Department for clearance." said the Chief Minister.
He also said that due to his busy schedule during the Lok Sabha elections, he could not meet the Governor.
"In such a situation, I have come to pay a courtesy visit."
Chief Minister Sukhu also said that barring one or two incidents, the law and order situation in the state is normal.
While the closed-door meeting between Governor Shukla and Chief Minister Sukhu was going on, Central Himachal Pradesh University Vice-Chancellor S.P. Bansal, contacted Raj Bhavan.
Bansal currently has additional responsibility of Himachal Pradesh University.
