Tamil Nadu Governor-in-charge Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Thursday described the smooth conduct of Assembly proceedings under the new TVK government led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay as the beginning of a “new era” in the State’s legislative history.
He noted that the Governor’s Address was read in full without disruption for the first time in three years, calling it a positive sign for parliamentary democracy in Tamil Nadu.
