Governor being at loggerheads with CM is detrimental to people’s welfare: CPI(M)

A Governor of a State acting in a manner that is deliberately at loggerheads with an elected Chief Minister is detrimental to the people’s welfare, said CPI(M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan on Monday, in Dharmapuri. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has every right to call him (T.N. Governor R. N. Ravi) out, Mr. Balakrishnan said.

Referring to a letter CM Stalin wrote to President Droupadi Murmu with regard to Governor Ravi, Mr. Balakrishnan said BJP State president K. Annamalai had no business critiquing this letter.  Is the Governor Mr. Annamalai’s agent, for him to come to his defense,” he asked. “We insist that the President recall Governor Ravi,” he said.

The Left party leader also claimed that the BJP in Tamil Nadu was a cesspool, harbouring the corrupt, history-sheeters, real estate mafia elements and criminals.
