Governor Soundararajan flags protocol violation, says very challenging to work with KCR
India Today
Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan stated that it is very challenging to work with CM KCR and raised protocol violations by Telangana ministers.
Rift between Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and the ruling TRS government came to the fore once again on Tuesday as she expressed concerns over protocol violations, saying it is very challenging to work with Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
Soundararajan said, "In Telangana, neither Collector nor SP accompany me to the places I visit. Certain democratically elected CMs are trying to become dictatorial. It is very challenging to work with Telangana CM."
Earlier, Soundararajan in her meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had alleged that government officials were not turning up during her visits to districts, in violation of protocol.

The alleged protocol violations happened during her visit to a tribal festival in Mulugu district and the newly inaugurated temple at Yadadri. Recently, KCR cabinet ministers skipped an event hosted by Raj Bhawan.
"I have dwelled with the tiger, I can work with anyone now. I'm working with two CMs. One CM will not budge when I call him while the other shows so much care," she said, referring to Puducherry CM.
"It is our culture to respect an invitation. We should respect those who invite us," she added.
