HYDERABAD: A day after Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan rejected the recommendation of the State Cabinet to appoint Dr Dasoju Sravan and Kurra Satyanarayana as MLCs under the Governor's quota, BRS MLC K Kavitha raised concerns over breach of the federal spirit by the Governor terming it as a deviation from established constitutional norms.
Addressing the media after participating in the birth anniversary celebrations of Chakali Ailamma organised at the Telangana Legislative Assembly Hall on Tuesday, Kavitha said that it was customary for Governors to approve lists of candidates forwarded by respective State Governments but the Telangana Governor rejected the Cabinet recommendations citing various reasons.
“I fail to understand whether it is the Constitution of India that governs the States or the Constitution of the BJP?” she asked.
Kavitha also pointed out that it was unfortunate to witness Governors acting in a way that raised questions about the limitations of the constitutional authorities. She emphasised that such actions by the Governors across several States were being closely observed by the public.
Kavitha also highlighted the BRS party’s efforts to uplift the Backward Classes (BC) communities. "However, the BJP is repeatedly proving to be an anti-BC entity through its actions," she said.
