The simmering differences between the Raj Bhavan and the Pragati Bhavan, the Chief Minister’s office-cum-residence, are continuing although notwithstanding the bonhomie displayed by Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at the inauguration of places of religion on the new secretariat premises.
The Governor is yet to give her assent to the merger of the State-owned Road Transport Corporation into the government and she did not also clear the file pertaining to nomination of two MLCs to the Legislative Council under the Governor’s quota. “Not yet,” was the reply of a top official of the State government when asked whether the two issues have been resolved.
The differences between the two Constitutional offices started two years ago when the Governor set aside the nomination to the Legislative Council referred to her by the Government and these differences are apparently continuing.
