Governor can’t draft regulations: PAC chief

Governor is the one who just reads out the report readied by the Cabinet and not the person who can draft any regulation as it is a democratic State, said K Selvaperunthagai, Chairperson of Tamil Nadu Public Accounts Committee. The Assembly Committee visited various projects including renovation of Raja Serfoji Memorial Hall in Thanjavur where the announcement board mentioned that the ongoing works were undertaken under the announcement of the Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi. Soon, Selvaperunthagai, the chairman of the committee asked the officials to remove the board. “The renovation works to the tune of Rs 9.12 crore were not announced by the governor but by the Chief Minister and he who allocated the fund and not the Governor,” Selvaperunthagai said. He also said that he had advised the officials not to repeat this in future. @@@@
