The Raj Bhavan on Thursday countered media reports quoting Chennai Central MP Dayanidhi Maran as saying that Governor R.N. Ravi had organised a family function in Ooty using funds from the State exchequer.
It said the remarks, attributed to the DMK MP, were “false, mischievous, and scurrilous”. The Governor had spent his personal funds on the event organised last year, it said.
According to reports in a section of the media, the DMK MP had questioned the propriety of Mr. Ravi organising his “daughter’s wedding” at the Raj Bhavan in Ooty, and had alleged that the function was organised at the expense of the State government.
