தமிழக நிர்வாகத்தை சீர்படுத்த விரும்பும் மாண்புமிகு ஆளுநர் #BanwarilalPurohit அவர்கள் பெரும்பான்மையை நிரூபிக்க ‘குதிரை பேர’ அரசுக்கு உத்தரவிடாமல் அதிகாரிகளை அழைத்து ஆய்வு நடத்துவது ஆரோக்கியமான மத்திய - மாநில அரசுகளின் உறவுகளுக்கோ, சீரான நிர்வாகத்திற்கோ துளியும் உதவாது.

Editorial context

DMK working president M.K. Stalin delivered a stern critique of Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit on November 15, 2017, following the Governor's controversial administrative review meetings with state officials in Coimbatore. Stalin stated that if the Governor genuinely sought to improve governance in Tamil Nadu, his constitutional duty required him to instruct the minority AIADMK regime to prove its legislative majority on the floor of the assembly, rather than bypassing elected authority to inspect district collectors.

Stalin warned that unilateral administrative interventions by a titular constitutional head undermine cooperative federalism and disrupt established lines of administrative accountability. Such direct meetings with civil servants, he argued, created bureaucratic parallel authority and blurred constitutional boundaries separating the Raj Bhavan from the elected state executive. The Governor's role under the Constitution is that of an impartial guardian, not an alternative executive administrator.

The DMK leader stressed that Tamil Nadu's administrative stagnation stems from an unrepresentative government lacking democratic legitimacy. He reiterated that democratic health cannot be restored through gubernatorial overreach. Stalin demanded that constitutional norms be honored and urged the Governor to refrain from actions that undermine the federal structure and state autonomy guaranteed by the Constitution.
