The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) staged a protest in front of Raj Bhavan, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government of hindering the progress of States by attempting to undermine their legislative and financial independence.
Inaugurating the protest, LDF convener E.P. Jayarajan accused Governor Arif Mohammed Khan of subverting the legislative power of the Kerala Assembly and denying the people’s will by refusing to sign important Bills passed by the House into law.
He accused Raj Bhavan of precipitating an administrative stasis by withholding assent to important Bills, including those related to the administration of varsities and the Kerala Lok Ayukta.
