A day after the Supreme Court made strong observations against Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi for refusing to re-induct former Minister K. Ponmudy in the State Cabinet, the Governor administered the oath of office and secrecy to the latter in the presence of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin at a ceremony in the Raj Bhavan on Friday.
Earlier, the Chief Minister, Mr. Ponmudy, their Cabinet colleagues Udhayanidhi Stalin, Ma. Subramanian and P.K. Sekarbabu, Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena and senior officials were received by the Governor’s Secretary on their arrival in the Raj Bhavan.
After the singing of national anthem and the Thamizh Thai Vaazhthu (State anthem), the Chief Secretary requested the Governor to administer the oaths of office and secrecy to Minister-designate Mr. Ponmudy. The Governor administered the oaths to the Minister and thereafter both of them signed the necessary papers.
