Government\'s attitude to Raj Bhavan won\'t deter my efforts: Governor

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: A combative Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday left no one in doubt that the past three years in office as the first citizen of Telangana were far from easy, but the “insults, hurdles, and non-responsiveness” of the state government to anything that goes from Raj Bhavan would not deter her from what she does — reach out to the people in need, and motivate and induce change even if the difference action makes is small. Answering a spate of questions from mediapersons on subjects ranging from alleged protocol violation by the TRS government to the condition of state-run school and college hostels, top doctors heading to private hospitals for treatment instead of the ones they head, and allegations that she ‘plays politics’, the Governor said she was made of much sterner stuff than those creating hurdles to her work to throw her off track. Even the highest office faced so many burdens,” she said referring to the alleged snubs on the protocol front, and narrated the instances of her visit to the Samakka Saralamma Jatara this year, and the ‘At Home’ function during the recent Independence Day celebrations. It is humiliating.” She said the trend of ignoring Raj Bhavan had continued even during the ‘At Home’ function on Independence Day evening, for which Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was expected to attend but eventually did not.
