GOVERNORS MUST BE NON-PARTISAN AND UPHOLD FOUNDING DEED
The Morning Standard|October 04, 2022
STATE after state in India is falling for governor-chief minister tussles like a row of dominoes. The latest instance is Punjab, where Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had criticised the governor after the latter sought details  of the legislative business to be taken up in the Assembly session last month.

GOVERNORS MUST BE NON-PARTISAN AND UPHOLD FOUNDING DEED

"In 75 years, no president/governor ever asked for a list of legislative business before calling a session," the CM wrote in a tweet. In Jharkhand, Governor Ramesh Bais keeps Chief Minister Hemant Soren on tenterhooks over the Election Commission's purported opinion on his disqualification as a legislator in connection with a mining lease contract. The fate of the state government still hangs in the balance.

Likewise, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan is on a collision course with the state government. Khan recently redflagged the appointment of a university teacher. The state government introduced a bill in the Legislative Assembly to have absolute powers to appoint vice-chancellors to the 13 state-run universities.

The tussle has become an open brawl as the chief minister termed the governor's 'outbursts' against the government 'ridiculous' and not befitting the latter's noble office. The governor hit back, stating that he was not inclined to approve the University Laws (Amendment) Bill, on the grounds that it is designed to legalise the illegalities in university appointments. Khan's response is a straw in the wind a much more intense political stalemate is in the offing in the state.
