꧟A day after chaos ensued in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, DMK deputy general secretary an Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi has alleged the BJP-led central government appointed Governor RN Ravi solely to "trouble the DMK government and insult Tamils."
🍌Addressing party members at a protest in the constituency of XYZ on Tuesday, Kanimozhi criticised the Governor for walking out of the Legislative Assembly without reading the state government's customary address.
꧅“Why play politics? There's no need for the Governor to do politics. He can take leave and refrain from attending Assembly,” said Kanimozhi.
🌃The protests, held across Tamil Nadu by the ruling party, condemned the Governor for boycotting the Assembly session. The DMK accused him of attempting to undermine a five-decade-long tradition.
ꩵOn Monday, Ravi walked out of the Legislative Assembly without reading out the customary address. The Raj Bhavan later said that the Governor left the House in “deep anguish” as the constitution of India and the national anthem were once again “insulted” in the Assembly.
🦂“This was the third time the Governor has disrespected the Assembly,” Kanimozhi said at the protest.
🥃Participating in the protest, DMK organisation secretary R S Bharathi alleged that the Governor wanted to break five decades of practice in the state by deciding to boycott the customary address.
💧“He is giving lame excuses for not reading the government's address in the Assembly. He has no valid reason to boycott. He is jealous because the states ruled by his party are not performing like Tamil Nadu is under Stalin’s DMK,” Bharathi later told reporters.
BJP Slams DMK For Protests
BJP Mahila Morcha president and legislator Vanathi Srinivasan ಌcondemned the DMK for its posters condemning the Governor and said it has become the habit of the ruling dispensation to undermine the position of the Governor.
🦋“Whenever he comes to the Assembly, they try to enact a drama as if he is disrespecting Tamil Nadu,” Vanathi Srinivasan told reporters here.
♈Yesterday, the Governor insisted upon playing the national anthem that was also followed in West Bengal or Kerala, ruled by the DMK’s allies, she said.
🅰“The national anthem is sung whenever the Governor arrives. But here, the DMK thinks that Tamil Nadu has a separate procedure,” Srinivasan said slamming the DMK.
