NDTV
Anger against the Centre-appointed Governors has now spilled over across states, with the respective ruling parties questioning the constitutional provisions of the Governor's post itself.
Governors in three southern states have been accused of acting like "puppets of the Centre" by state governments who have had several run-ins with them on key legislations. Anger against the Centre-appointed Governors has now spilled over across states, with the respective ruling parties questioning the constitutional provisions of the Governor's post itself.
Kerala, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu have seen sharp attacks and counterattacks between the state governments and their Governors over a host of issues. Several protest demonstrations and marches have been planned against the Governors.
Tamil Nadu's ruling party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) today attacked Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, who is also under fire from the state's ruling party -- K Chandrashekar Rao-led TRS -- over recruitments in state universities, for "poking her nose" in the neighbouring state's politics.
DMK mouthpiece Murasoli today responded to Governor Soundararajan's tacit remarks that Tamil Nadu's top political family, the DMK, has Telegu roots.
