Governor’s action against Constitutional norms: Priyank Kharge
Priyank Kharge, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister, criticized Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s decision to leave the Joint Legislature Session without reading the government-prepared address, calling it a violation of constitutional norms. He argued that the address did not contain offensive language and that the Governor should have completed the address before paying respect to the National Anthem. Kharge defended the State government's demands for grants under the 15th Finance Commission and criticized the Centre's move to replace the MGNREGA with the 'Viksit Bharat' model, emphasizing that the State had not been adequately consulted on this issue.
