Governor could send representative: Bhatti Vikramaraka

HYDERABAD: Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramaraka said that governor Tamilisai Soundararajan should have received Congress representation against the farm bills at least through her representative. “Her excellency, the respected governor is the constitutional head of the state, where else should we go,” said Bhatti, reacting to the governor’s statement that due to the pandemic she is not personally receiving any representations. Speaking to TOI, the Congress leader said that as the head of the state, she is bound to give audience. “She may not meet in person but like other governors, she should send representatives,” he said. Bhatti wondered if the pandemic rule applies only to the opposition party. “Many government dignitaries, including the chief minister, have met her. Her excellency should come to our rescue too,” he said. Reacting to governor’s remarks that Raj Bhavan is a not a political venue, Congress leader Dasoju Sravan tweeted, “If Her Excellency the Honorable Governer @DrTamilisaiGuv Garu, the Saviour of Democracy & Constitutional Protector of Voiceless, unfortunately, perceives representations of Oppn Parties as Political Dramas, where else people have to turn to if ruling Govts turned to be dictators (sic).”
