New Delhi: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has criticised the Kerala government for its repeated bashing of Governor Arif Mohammed Khan for bringing various irregularities of the state’s institutions to light.
He warned the Left government in Kerala from dismissing Khan’s statements as empty threats. He said the post of Governor represents the President of India.
“Let the crazy Communists of Kerala realise that Kerala Governor represents the President of India and hence the Centre in the Constitution. I urge Modi government to be prepared to dismiss the State government if a hair of the Governor is touched,” Swamy tweeted. (sic)
The latest provocation was a comment by Balagopal in response to Khan’s directive to vice-chancellors of nine state varsities to resign citing a violation of UGC norms in their posting.
