Tamilnadu Governor RN Ravi today left to New Delhi on a two-day trip amid an intense tussle between the ruling DMK in Tamilnadu.
A few days ago, the State government apprised President Droupadi Murmu over the issue and submitted a memorandum, the content of which was not disclosed immediately and Chief Minister MK Stalin’s letter to Murmu requesting her to advise the Governor not to have any ideological conflict with the government.
He also requested the President to intervene in the matter and direct Ravi to act according to cabinet recommendations, as mandated by the Constitution, enabling good governance for the public.
The maiden Assembly session of 2023 began with the face-off between the State government and the Governor hitting a new low on January 9 after Ravi “walked out” of the Assembly.
He abruptly exited the House, without waiting for the customary singing of the national anthem, moments before Chief Minister M K Stalin finished moving a resolution seeking to ‘remove’ the portions read out by the Governor with “additions and omissions in violation of the Assembly tradition.”
