DMK not bothered about T.N. Governor Ravi’s laments: Minister Thennarasu

Governor R.N. Ravi has not taken any creative initiative for Tamil Nadu and has been attempting to add confusion to the political landscape in the State by lamenting every other day, but the DMK government is not at all bothered about it, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu said on Monday.

In a statement, Mr. Thennarasu referred to reported statements made by the Governor against the term ‘Dravidam’ in a function recently and further said: “If the Governor had explained how the term was divisive, we could have offered an elaborate explanation. If he has a generalised statement, it could only be considered a lament.”

The “Aryan political forces” that were wiped out of Tamil Nadu’s political landscape over the past 50 years were making the “Governor to provide a commentary to the worn out books on sanathanam”, the Minister charged. The Minister said, as descendants of former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai and M. Karunanidhi, they would not be bothered about the Governor lamenting at all.
