CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday tweeted to extend his thanks to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for his support to Tamil Nadu government’s resolution to urge the Union government and the President of India to fix a time limit for governors to approve the bills passed by the state legislature.
Stalin said, “Thank you Arvind Kejriwal for commending TNLA’s resolution & joining our bandwagon. Indeed, the sovereignty of the legislature is supreme in any democracy. No ‘appointed’ governor shall undermine the legislative power & responsibilities of ‘elected’ govts.”
