Congress Using Raj Bhavan To Run Parallel Govt In Gujarat, Says The CM
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Ahmedabad: Sadbhavana over, it was time for Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi to sharpen his knives against the governor, Dr Kamla, during the mega rally of BJP workers on Sunday. At the rally, Modi asked the Centre to recall the governor.
This is the first time that Modi has openly asked for the governor’s recall in a public meeting. Before this, he had raised the issue in a letter to the prime minister. Petitions were filed against the CM accusing him of contempt of court by releasing the letter to the media when the Lokaykta issue was already in the high court.
Modi accused the governor of being a pawn in the hands of Congress. “For the last three years, Congress has used Raj Bhavan to run a parallel government in Gujarat. In the name of organising district visits, the governor has been issuing directions to the local administration. We’ve made several efforts to persuade the governor against this,” Modi said.
BJP distributed a pamphlet — a “chargesheet” against the governor — among the massive crowd which accused Dr Kamla of not clearing bills, likeimpact fee and women’s reservation. Gujarat BJP chief RC Faldu read out a resolution, asking the Centre to recall the governor and was passed with a voice vote from the crowd. Modi called the resolution a voice of the people.
“The governor raised the same objections as Congress did in the Assembly, while returning various bills,” Modi said. He said the central government saw Gujarat as an enemy state and did not even give Gujarat its just share of fertilisers and kerosene. “Since 2009, the governor has been acting against the state, but we kept quiet as the government was committed to the development of the state.”
