Former Madras High Court judge K. Chandru has called for abolishing the posts of Governors who are purportedly sent as “Trojan horses” by the Centre to destablise State governments.
Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of reducing Raj Bhavans to party offices, he proposed a system of appointing Governors only after obtaining the approval by the respective States.
He was inaugurating a seminar on ‘Federalism and Governorship in India’ jointly organised by the CPI(M)-run AKG Centre for Research and Studies and the All India Lawyers’ Union (AILU) here on Friday.
