At a youth conference this month, DMK called for abolition of post of governor. The party’s dislike of the post transcends mere political differences & is rooted in its idea of federalism.
The DMK govt has been at loggerheads with Governor T.N. Ravi for sitting on key bills, among which is one that seeks to curb his power as universities' chancellor.
In its petition in SC, Tamil Nadu has sought direction to governor to dispose of all pending bills & also asked court to fix time limit for governor to consider bills.
SC and expert panel have previously held that dominant role cannot be ascribed to governor, who is a ceremonial head and not intended to be a ‘parallel administration’.
In its plea, the TN govt has sought to direct the Governor to dispose of all the bills, files & govt orders forwarded by the state assembly and govt that are pending with his office.
The deaths of a 19-year-old student & his father within three days have put focus on politics surrounding the medical entrance exam. Both DMK, AIADMK govts adopted anti-NEET bills.
While Raj Bhavan has said Tamil Nadu's DMK govt is yet to submit 'authenticated copy of investigation report' in 1 case, govt has questioned whether Ravi was trying to protect minister.
In a tweet, Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai reminds CM how he had sought Balaji's dismissal over corruption charges 5 yrs ago when he was in Opposition.
Ravi order to dismiss Senthil Balaji, now in abeyance, called 'unconstitutional'. SC previously held governor must act on advice of council of ministers barring ‘exceptional circumstances’.
As we head toward 'Azaadi Ka Amrit Kaal', let us remember the sacrifices of our freedom fighters and keep the growth engine turbocharged and bring energy and prosperity to all.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
