83-year-old BJP leader from Nagpur is said to have met home minister Amit Shah before tendering resignation to President. His 2-year-plus tenure was marked by frequent clashes with the CM.
Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit had refused to take a call on four pending bills, while doubting the validity of the June session of the state assembly in which they were passed.
Response came after Raj Bhavan sought details of state incurring additional debt of Rs 50,000 cr since AAP came to power. Opposition leaders allege CM is taking people for ride.
Mann says governor Purohit should enter electoral fray in Rajasthan after latter warned CM that he could write to President about failure of constitutional machinery in Punjab.
Officials instructed to stick to train travel & stay at UT guest house or state bhavans from now on. In 1st week of August, governor had stopped use of tomatoes in Raj Bhavan's kitchen.
Banwarilal Purohit slams CM for not taking action on complaint of alleged sexual misconduct against minister Lal Chand Kataruchak. Will not use state copter to travel, he adds.
Hearing petition filed by Punjab govt Tuesday, SC held that governor had no discretionary power to delay summoning assembly session & was duty-bound to act on cabinet's advice.
SC says chief minister, governor should maintain 'dignity' and 'mature statesmanship' in their communication despite them representing different ideologies.
Will first seek legal advice on issue, says Banwarilal Purohit. Mann had written to him saying he was not accountable to the governor but to the 3 crore Punjabis who had elected him.
Banwarilal Purohit, who's on a tour of border districts, has been accused by AAP dispensation of 'trying to run parallel govt' after he asserted that he's 'not a dummy governor'.

This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
