CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi left for New Delhi on a four-day visit on Wednesday evening. He departed from Chennai at 5.30 pm on an Air India flight, accompanied by his secretary, aide, and security officer.

According to Raj Bhavan sources, the Governor is scheduled to attend a university event during his stay in the national capital. However, there is also speculation that he may hold meetings with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other senior ministers.

The Governor is expected to return to Chennai on August 23 (Saturday), with his Air India flight scheduled to land at 4.30 pm.

His visit comes amid continuing tensions between Raj Bhavan and the State government.

On Independence Day, the Governor's customary ‘At Home’ reception at Raj Bhavan was boycotted by the ruling DMK, its allies, and the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
