Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin alleged that “India is now witnessing the tragedy of Governors of states functioning in a manner totally unsuitable to the high posts held by them and indulging in cheap and substandard politics.”
In a statement in Chennai, he said the states had been deprived of their rights in the ten year rule of the BJP and the Centre encroached upon the rights of states in education, language, finance and law sectors.
“We are witnessing an increase in autocratic attitudes which are against democracy. The Centre’s attempt to run rival governments with the help of nominated Governors is not only against states, but also against the Constitution,” he charged.
