BJP chief lashes Kerala govt for putting pressure on Governor

Kochi:  KS Radhakrishnan, Kerala State Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata Party, slammed the state administration on Wednesday for putting political pressure on Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, forcing him to resign as Chancellor of Universities.

Without elaborating much, KS Radhakrishnan stated openely that  he was under political duress. The administration has suggested that the job of Chancellor be created. As a result of the persistent pressure from the government and the difficulty of operating as Chancellor, he urged that the government dismiss him." "Also, the Higher Education Minister has no right to approach him," he added, because the Governor is always advised by a council of ministers led by the Chief Minister, not the ministries.

In addition, the state vice president of the BJP stated, "A minister has complete freedom to present her own ideas or suggestions to the ministerial council. If the council of ministers agrees to such idea, the Chief Minister shall inform the Governor."

He made a jibe at the Minister of Higher Education, saying, "Here, Dr. R. Bindu (Minister of Higher Education) has taken the cabinet's authority to write and has demonstrated the audacity to write by breaking all the rules to write a letter telling him to perform in a specific way. It's completely incorrect, because the cabinet is the only one who knows what's going on."
