The Governor, Dr Tamilisai Sounderrajan, reacted regarding the inauguration of the new Parliament building and said, “State governments which do not respect Governors are shedding crocodile tears saying that the constitutional head of the country has not been invited to the inauguration of the new Parliament building.”
The Governor said that she was not invited to the inauguration of the new Telangana Secretariat. She said that the President was a non-political individual.
“Recently, the Telangana Secretariat was inaugurated by the CM. Everyone asked whether the Governor was invited. (They said) no, as the CM is the one who rules. Not even an invitation for that ceremony was given (to me). You (Opposition) say that the President is a non-political person but why don’t you say this for Governors?” she asked.
However, the BRS said that the Governor should not engage in politics. BRS social media is abuzz with the Governor’s earlier statement that new buildings do not constitute development. Why does she want to get invited to the secretariat inauguration then, they asked.
“It is not appropriate for the Governor to talk politics. May God give her a good mind. KCR will take a decision on whether the BRS would attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building,” BRS MLA Sudheer Reddy said.
