The second State level conference of the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) youth wing held at Salem on January 21 adopted a resolution seeking abolition of the post of Governor, “which remains as an extra flesh” and said this was the way forward to “protect democracy”. The conference also resolved to appoint the Chief Minister as Chancellor of State-run universities replacing the Governor.
A resolution adopted at the conference said “appointed” Governors are not fit to occupy the Chancellor’s post and the Chief Minister heading a government elected by the people must occupy the post of Chancellor.
Another resolution vowed to fight till the State got an exemption from NEET and the conference also called for opposing the National Education Policy. Besides, it sought shifting of medicine and education from the Concurrent List to the State List. The DMK youth wing will initiate legal process for the same, according to a resolution. One of the resolutions called for appointment of Tamil youth in Central Government jobs in the State.
