Could have emailed, Raj Bhavan not a place for political drama, says guv

Description

Hyderabad: Saying that the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) could have given its representation on farm laws to her on mail, governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said Raj Bhavan cannot be a place for political drama. Interacting with reporters in a web-conference on the occasion of Raj Bhavan converting to a digital administration completely, the governor said she had asked Congress leaders to give their representation in email. “I have made it a norm during the pandemic to take representations from people as well as any political party through digital means. I cannot change the norm for one particular party or individual. If they insist on representing physically, I cannot help it. But, Raj Bhavan cannot be a political drama place,” she said. She said that she was supporting farm laws as she saw some merit in the legislations. “I am proud that Telanagna has emerged as the ‘rice bowl of India’ now because of water availability and rainfall. I appreciate good things,” she said. The governor said Telangana is in a much better position to tackle Covid-19 than before. She said that she is not afraid of Covid- 19. “The situation is not as alarming as like in AP and Tamil Nadu..”
