DC Edit | In Tamil Nadu & elsewhere, governors can't block governments

Deccan Chronicle  

Article 159 of the Constitution prescribes the oath a person takes as he/she enters the office of governor. Mr Stalin has also listed instances wherein the governor’s statements referring to the Tamil language, Dravidian philosophy and cultural practices were objected to. All this is in addition to the governor’s order dismissing a minister without the aid and advice of the council of ministers while he was being investigated by a Central agency, the Enforcement Directorate. Several states ruled by political parties opposed to the National Democratic Alliance have been witnessing clashes between their governors and the chief ministers and the points vary from administrative formalities, governance of universities to serious constitutional issues. But Tamil Nadu has witnessed gubernatorial excess in an unprecedented way when Mr Ravi disregarded Mr Stalin’s opinion on the continuance of a minister in the state Cabinet.
