Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao saying that no protocol was being followed in the state as the CM didn’t meet her in two years.
Speaking to reporters at Madurai airport, the Telangana Governor said, “In Telangana, no protocol is followed.
The chief minister has not met me for quite a long time.The constitution says that periodic discussions with the administrators — the chief minister with the governor — are necessary but this doesn’t happen in Telangana at all.For two years I have not met the chief minister.Everyone is putting questions on the governors but no one is questioning the chief ministers.
”
“There should be a good relationship between the governor and the chief minister but that is totally lacking in Telangana,” the governor alleged.
Alleging that state ministers stay away from her official visits, Soundararajan added, “I have acted on all the Bills.
I had invited the chief minister on several occasions but he did not come — be it festivals or during the Republic Day celebrations.On official visits, too, no local leader comes, no MLA or MP comes, and the chief minister doesn’t come.
A governor should be treated like a governor, there is a standard operating procedure.”
It is to mention here that the ‘political rift’ between Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and Telangana government continued after she returned two bills to the State government for clarifications and rejected one bill pending with her for months.
The Governor took the decision on the same day when petition was filed by the Telangana government in the Supreme Court, seeking a direction to her to clear the pending bills, came up for hearing.
