​Contrived grievance: The Hindu Editorial on the Tamil Nadu Governor

The Hindu  

It is regrettable that the customary address to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly by the Governor in the beginning of a new year’s session is turning into an unsavoury event year after year. The State government maintains that the practice in the Assembly was to play the State’s invocation to Tamil before the address and the national anthem at the end of the Governor’s speech and that this had been conveyed to the Governor’s office. In 2023, Mr. Ravi had skipped portions of the address prepared by the State government, including a reference to the ‘Dravidian model of governance’ and some praise for the law and order situation in the State. Given the scale of Mr. Ravi’s persistent differences with the elected regime, it is indeed strange and questionable that the Union government should retain him in this office, unless its objective is to test the limits of the State government’s tolerance.
