Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
Tamilnadu Governor's Unconstitutional Actions
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) unequivocally
disapproves of the unseemly actions of the Tamilnadu governor, RN Ravi, in
skipping portions of the address to the assembly prepared by the state
government.
In doing what he did, governor Ravi has brazenly violated the Constitutional
principle that the governor should act as the voice of the elected state
government and the long-established convention that he reads out the
complete text of the address prepared by the state government. It is now
clear that portions of the text of the address which he preferred to skip
was approved by him beforehand.
The portions he preferred to skip also reveals his antipathy for the
government's record in the sphere of law and order which is an exclusive
prerogative of the elected state governments. Furthermore, he also skipped
references to contributions by doyens of the social reform traditions of
Tamilnadu.
Governor Ravi's actions also underline a growing pattern under the current
BJP led government where governor's office is used as an instrument to
undermine the Constitutional role of the state governments and smacks of an
anti-federal tendency and penchant for centralization of powers.
