Tamil Nadu Speaker M. Appavu said on Thursday that the Chief Secretary of the State could write an epilogue to Governor R.N. Ravi’s notification dismissing V. Senthilbalaji from the Cabinet just by “issuing a direction that there is no need to implement it since it is against the law”.
“Under the Constitution, the Governor has the powers to appoint the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers, and he is vested with no powers to remove them,” he told The Hindu.
