New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI) The Congress on Monday launched a scathing attack on Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi for skipping portions of the state government-prepared customary address in the Assembly, alleging that his actions were a "brazen violation" of constitutional norms and he was "acting at the behest of those who appointed him".
The tussle between the ruling DMK and the Tamil Nadu Raj Bhavan hit a new low on Monday as the governor skipped portions of the government prepared customary address in the Assembly and Chief Minister M K Stalin piloted a resolution to exclude from the House records whatever he spoke outside the state-drafted speech.
Reacting to the developments, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said on Twitter, "The conduct of the IB officer-turned Governor in the Tamil Nadu Assembly today is a brazen violation of all Constitutional norms and conventions." "He is clearly acting at the behest of those who appointed him. He is a disgrace to the position he holds!" Ramesh said.
