TAMIL NADU GOVERNOR RN Ravi has levelled various charges against the State Government in his customary Republic Day address. Sources said perhaps it is the first time in history that a governor in the country is making accusations against the government in the Republic Day address.

In his address, the governor said key indicators of the state are worrying and that Tamil Nadu is on a 'declining curve'. He alleged the autonomy of the universities in state has "eroded to such an extent that it is not the university syndicates but the state secretariat that runs the varsities."
