FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Guv s comments beyond purview ministers - The Untold Story

Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Errabelli Dayakar Rao and Minister for Tribal, Women and Child Welfare Satyavathi Rathod have alleged that the Governor of the State has been acting beyond the purview of the gubernatorial post and observed that the office has been spending more time in criticising the State Government and sparing less time for any suggestions.

They spoke separately at Warangal and Hyderabad and said the Governor was acting against the spirit of the Constitution with the directions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi instead of upholding the dignity of the office. They were reacting to the Governor’s comments made while speaking to mediapersons to mark the completion of her three years in office.

Speaking at Rayaparthi in Warangal district Mr. Dayakar Rao said the Governor had not even informed him/his office in the past when she was visiting Medaram Jatara although he was the district minister. Instead, she had called up local BJP leaders and taken them along during the visit.
