THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After the Supreme Court ruled that governors should not be held hostage by bills, Governor Arif Muhammad Khan stands firm in his position. He insists that he will only make a decision on the bills once the Chief Minister visits the Raj Bhavan and provides an explanation.
There's no necessity to await the Supreme Court's verdict to decide on the bills. However, given the government's court involvement, we should wait for the court's decision. The Governor's stance remains unchanged: he insists the Chief Minister should withdraw the letter or deliver it directly. The Governor conveyed to the media that bills should not fall under the judiciary's jurisdiction.
The government has left the Governor uninformed, surpassing acceptable limits. Some questions regarding the bills have been raised by the Governor who is seeking answers.
The state's revenue relies heavily on lotteries and liquor sales which is a matter of concern. This method of generating revenue exploits common people through lotteries. Governor Khan said that Kerala's achievements are credited to the common people of the state.
