Accusing Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi of violating the tenets of the Constitution, MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Saturday urged the Centre to recall the Governor as he was creating a political crisis in Tamil Nadu.
In a statement, he rejected the claim of Mr. Ravi that a Governor had powers to dismiss Ministers of a State Cabinet. “A Governor cannot appoint or remove a Minister without the Chief Minister’s recommendation. The Constitution has not conferred unlimited powers on the Governor.”
He had recently launched a signature campaign to recall Mr. Ravi. “We will collect over one crore signatures and submit them to the President,” he said.
