Relations between the Tamil Nadu Raj Bhavan and the Government have worsened, with Governor RN Ravi refusing to read out the customary address to the Legislative Assembly. On the first day of this year’s Legislative Assembly session, Mr Ravi refused to read out in full, the Governor’s address that was tabled before the members of the House. The Raj Bhavan said the Governor had felt that reading it would have amounted to making the Governor’s address a constitutional travesty. This is the first time a Governor has refused to read out the Governor’s address in the Tamil Nadu Assembly.
