Even in Congress-ruled states, conflicts between governors and chief ministers are absent, except in Tamil Nadu where such tensions arise under the DMK government, claims BJP Tamil Nadu spokesperson ANS Prasad.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also dealt with governor interference during his time as Gujarat Chief Minister, but advises against using governors to politically disrupt state governments, Prasad noted.
The statement follows a Supreme Court ruling on legislative deadlines for Presidents and Governors, alongside TN Chief Minister MK Stalin's call against Presidential references regarding governors, questioning the balance of power between state and central governments.
