Stalin welcomes Delhi counterpart for joining hands to fix time for Guvs to approve bills
Stalin moved a resolution in the state assembly on April 9 urging the President and the Union Government to fix a time frame for the Governors to give their assent to the bills.
CHENNAI: Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday thanked his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal for responding positively to his call to CMs in non-BJP ruling states to pass a resolution in their respective state assembly to fix time frame for Governors to pass bills.
“Thank you for commending TNLA’s resolution and joining our bandwagon,” the TN CM posted in his Twitter handle, tagging Kejriwal.
“Indeed, the sovereignty of the legislature is supreme in any democracy. No ‘appointed’ Governor shall undermine the legislative power and responsibilities of ‘elected’ governments,” he further said in his tweet with the hashtag ‘Thee Paravattum!’ (Let the Fire spread!).
Stalin moved a resolution in the state assembly on April 9 urging the President and the Union Government to fix a time frame for the Governors to give their assent to the bills. The resolution was passed following Governor R N Ravi’s controversial remark that the bill withheld means it is “dead”.
Following this, the TN CM wrote to his counterparts in non-BJP ruling states and urged them to pass a similar resolution in their state assembly.
