We thank and welcome today’s historic judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, reaffirming the legislative rights of State Legislatures and putting an end to the trend of Union government-nominated Governors stalling progressive legislative reforms in Opposition-ruled states.

This is another crucial step in restoring balance in Union–State relations and a landmark victory in Tamil Nadu’s continuous struggle to usher in a truly federal India.

My congratulations to the people of Tamil Nadu and our legal team!

Editorial context

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin warmly welcomed the Supreme Court's historic judgment reaffirming the sovereign legislative powers of state assemblies and putting a decisive end to gubernatorial obstruction. Stalin noted that governors appointed by the Union government had established an undemocratic pattern of stalling progressive legislative reforms passed by opposition-ruled state assemblies. He commended the apex court for restoring constitutional balance between the Union and federating states through this landmark intervention.

The Chief Minister extended heartfelt congratulations to the people of Tamil Nadu and the distinguished senior counsels who represented the state government, including Mukul Rohatgi, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Rakesh Dwivedi, and Rajya Sabha MP P. Wilson. Stalin emphasized that their meticulous legal arguments successfully defended the constitutional principle that gubernatorial discretion cannot override legislative sovereignty. He observed that the verdict delivers systemic relief to all state assemblies confronting administrative paralysis.

Stalin reaffirmed that Tamil Nadu's continuous legal struggles are aimed at realizing a truly federal India where states enjoy complete policy autonomy. He pledged that the government will continue to champion cooperative federalism and defend democratic rights through constitutional channels.
