The Governor's threat is against ministers including R Bindu. The governor had removed 15 senate members after the university was not ready to fix a representative to the governor's search committee in connection with the appointment of vice chancellor of Kerala University. The Governor did not sign the Lokayukta and University Amendment Bills. The governor's stand is that will take a decision after the ministers’ explanation.
