A well thought out #Editorial in @the_hindu makes a convincing case for amending the provisions related to the Governor's role and stresses that the Governor is obliged to go by Cabinet advice while dealing with bills, in a time bound manner.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin welcomed a prominent editorial published by The Hindu that examined the constitutional parameters governing the office of state governors. Stalin noted that the editorial presented a compelling, legally grounded argument for curbing arbitrary gubernatorial discretion, emphasizing that nominated governors are constitutionally mandated to act upon the aid and advice of the elected state council of ministers in a time-bound manner.
The Chief Minister pointed out that the editorial reinforced the long-standing stance of the Tamil Nadu government regarding undue delays and withholding of legislative bills passed by elected state assemblies. He stressed that indefinite delays in granting gubernatorial assent to legislations enacted by the people representatives undermine constitutional democracy, erode federal equilibrium, and obstruct progressive social welfare policies.
Stalin called upon constitutional authorities and the Union government to heed the growing consensus among legal scholars and democratic voices. He reiterated that the DMK will continue to lead the national campaign for comprehensive constitutional amendments to define gubernatorial powers clearly, ensuring that state legislative sovereignty is fully respected across the Indian democratic and federal structure.
