Stalin has ‘cordial’ meeting with Governor Ravi on Assembly bills


Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday had a ‘cordial’ meeting with state Governor R N Ravi at the Raj Bhavan here and discussed the Assembly bills awaiting Presidential assent.

The meeting happened in the wake of the Supreme Court’s suggestion to the Governor recently to “meet and resolve” the difference with the chief minister.

“The meeting was cordial and the Governor agreed to send 9 out of 10 bills to the President for assent,” state Law Minister S Reghupathy said.
Apart from the pending bills, the government had sought to prosecute two former AIADMK ministers, and also release 112 prisoners on former Chief Minister C N Annadurai’s birth anniversary, he told reporters.

The ruling DMK and Ravi have been at loggerheads over a number of issues.
