Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president K. Surendran has said that there is no need for President’s rule in Kerala as Governor Arif Mohammed Khan is capable of ensuring law and order in the State.
Reacting to reports that the Governor’s ongoing spat with the Left front government is aimed at paving the way for President’s rule in Kerala, Mr. Surendran said the people opposing Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan knew “how to bring him on the right path.”
“Here is a Governor who has informed the State Police Chief that he does not require any police protection, while the Chief Minister continues to travel under a heavy police cover and the protection of his security personnel and goons of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI),” Mr. Surendran told mediapersons in Kochi on December 18 (Monday).
