Governor walking out of Assembly disrupts democratic process and raises concerns about institutional conflict.

The Lok Bhavan, a statement released by the Raj Bhavan, criticized the address for containing "unsubstantiated claims and misleading statements" and claimed that the Governor's mic was repeatedly switched off. The statement also highlighted concerns about issues such as women safety, drug abuse, suicide rates, temple mismanagement, and the decline in educational standards.
