Chennai: Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin came down hard on governor R N Ravi , saying, "I made an announcement in the assembly about the (recent SC) verdict with pride. The SC has validated DMK's stand that the power of a governor is only that of a postman between the state and Union govts."
In an interview to TOI, Stalin spoke on a range of issues, including the SC order giving assent to 10 bills that were pending before the governor after they were passed by the Tamil Nadu legislature, delimitation and benefits of a two-language policy .
Stalin said SC's ruling has clarified that the authority of the legislature cannot be crippled. "In a democracy, it is the govt elected by the people that holds the power to legislate. The position of governor, which is an appointed post, is only an honorary one."
