Probably, the Governor could not digest the development of Tamil Nadu and his anger had turned towards the Dravidian Model government, Mr. Baalu said. It is not difficult to understand his agenda,” said Mr. Baalu, in a statement, reacting to Mr. Ravi who had alleged that a false narrative had been created in Tamil Nadu through regressive politics. Governor’s remarks While felicitating volunteers of the Kasi Tamil Sangamam on Wednesday, the Governor said, “In Tamil Nadu, there had been regressive politics that we are Dravidian, and we have nothing to do with this.” Mr. Baalu said the objective of the Governor seemed to turn the clock to the period of Varanashrama through the narrative of communal and divisive politics. Mr. Baalu wondered whether the Governor was unable to understand the position held by Uttar Pradesh and Bihar vis-à-vis Tamil Nadu 50 years ago.
