TRS terms Governor’s ‘praja darbar’ anti-democratic

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has termed the ‘Praja Darbar’ on women’s issues conducted by Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday “anti-democratic” and by doing so the Raj Bhavan has become “rajakiya (political) bhavan”.

Dr. Soundararajan had set a new tradition, which was was opposed by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, when he was holding guard in Gujarat, along with demand for implementation of Sarkaria and Poonch Commission recommendations on the Centre-State relations and federal structure in the country, TRS legislator and Public Undertakings Committee Chairman A. Jeevan Reddy said addressing a press conference here on Saturday.

Stating that it was not a ‘praja darbar’ but was a political darbar, the TRS leader sought to know what Mr. Modi had preached when he was the Gujarat Chief Minister and what he was doing now. He further reminded that Mr. Modi had suggested in the past that the Centre must take more care in the appointment of Governor when a party that was not in power at the Centre would be in power in a State.
