"Ask Governor why he is not signing bills": DMK Elangovan on AIADMK Palaniswami meeting with TN governor

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 6 (ANI): The DMK on Tuesday questioned the intentions behind the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami's meeting with Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, asking if the Opposition party would accuse the Governor for not signing and approving bills passed by the state assembly.
Speaking to ANI, DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan said, "Is he going to accuse the governor for not signing and approving the bills passed by the state assembly, sending them to Delhi in a delayed manner?... He should go and ask the governor why he is not signing the bills passed by the state legislature."
Elangovan further alleged that the AIADMK's meeting with the Governor was an attempt to give a memorandum against the DMK, suggesting that the party was afraid of the present schemes implemented by the DMK government. "But if he wants to give a memorandum against the DMK, that shows he is afraid of the present schemes the DMK is implementing," Elangovan said.
Earlier, sources said Palaniswami is expected to raise the current law-and-order situation in Tamil Nadu under the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam regime and express his concerns.
Tamil Nadu is scheduled to hold elections in the first half of this year.
Earlier on Monday, Congress leader Manickam Tagore said that alliances remain the political reality in Tamil Nadu and asserted that the time has come to move beyond seat-sharing and initiate discussions on the sharing of power.
Reacting to a recent survey conducted by the private organisation IPDS on the political alliance landscape in Tamil Nadu, Tagore said the data did not fully reflect the actual strength of the Congress and several other parties in the state.
"Pointing to the recent private organisation ( IPDS ) survey taken on Tamil Nadu political alliance status. In Tamil Nadu, alliances are the political reality. Every party has its own base of voter support. I feel that this data does not fully reflect not only the Congress party's numbers but also those of other parties. However, no one can win in Tamil Nadu without an alliance. At the same time, the moment has arrived to discuss not just power, but the sharing of power as well, hasn't it?" the post added on X.
He said, "Time for a share of power, not only a share of seats." (ANI)
