Constitution supreme for me, there is no pressure: Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra

Hindustan Times  

“The Constitution is supreme for me,” Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra said on Thursday, and refuted allegations that he had acted under the Central government’s pressure in the political tussle. Mishra, who was one of the senior most BJP leaders and a former union minister before being made governor, also expressed his anguish at the protests by Congress legislators inside Raj Bhawan, saying this was not an “appropriate” behavior against somebody holding a constitutional post. He also rejected any comparison between the protests by Congress MLAs and the one by BJP lawmakers, including him, in Uttar Pradesh in 1995 against then state governor, saying UP agitation was held outside Raj Bhawan and it did not violate any decorum. With most of the ruling Congress MLAs being put up in a five-star hotel in Jaipur to deal with the political crisis following a revolt by former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot and 18-odd MLAs loyal to him, the BJP has accused the state government of not taking adequate measures to deal with the pandemic, and other issues facing the state.
