CPM leader TM Thomas Isaac has strongly criticized the governor over his tweet saying that he will take strict action against the ministers if the dignity of the governor's post is lowered. Thomas Isaac stated that he is suspecting that Governor might have come up with such an action as he is being subjected to white-room torture by the RSS at the Raj Bhavan.

'No governor with consciousness would ever threaten that he has the power to sack a minister. It seems that the governor is worried that he may be sacked from his post if he loses favour with the RSS chief,' Thomas Isaac wrote on his Facebook page.
