The Governors of Tamil Nadu and Delhi are yet again at loggerheads with their respective Chief Ministers. While R N Ravi in Tamil Nadu seems to be disregarding all conventions that are required to be followed by the Governor like in the instance of delivering a speech in line with the government’s draft which is supposed to have been pre-approved by him and then walking out of a convened Assembly session. In another instance he has gone and suggested that Tamil Nadu's name be changed to Tamizhagam and even used it in the Governor's invitation for the Pongal function. Now this is an overreach. In a similar manner at Delhi, the Lt Governor does not give quickly an appointment to the Chief Minister for a meeting with him. There was also a news report a few days ago that said that the Delhi Lt Governor had refused permission for some teachers who had been sponsored for training to Finland. Governors should understand that they hold a titular position while the Chief Ministers are elected representatives of the people and thus should get precedence on matters.
