Chennai: Chief Ministers of opposition-ruled States will soon meet in Delhi to discuss the ‘Constitutional overstepping and brazen misuse of power by the Governors’, Tamilnadu Chief Minister MK Stalin tweeted.
The matter, he added, was flagged by Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, who had suggested the meeting.
In a tweet, Stalin said, ‘Beloved Didi @MamataOfficial telephoned me to share her concern and anguish on the Constitutional overstepping and brazen misuse of power by the Governors of non-BJP ruled states. She suggested for a meeting of Opposition CMs.’
He added: ‘I assured her of DMK’s commitment to uphold State autonomy. Convention of Opposition CMs will soon happen out of Delhi!’
The communication between the two chief ministers took place after Stalin, condemned West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar’s decision to prorogue, with immediate effect, the ongoing session of the eastern State’s legislative assembly.
‘The act of #WestBengal Governor to prorogue the WB Assembly Session is without any propriety expected from the exalted post and goes against the established norms and conventions. The ‘symbolic’ head of the state should be the role model to uphold the constitution. Beauty of democracy lies in extending mutual respect to each other,’ he tweeted.
