You have NO Power to Dismiss my Ministers - CM lashes Governor
With regard to the expulsion of v Senthil balaji as a minister, tamil Nadu chief minister MK stalin wrote to governor RN ravi on friday and stated that he (the Governor) had "no powers to dismiss my ministers." "I'll say it again: You have no authority to fire my ministers. Only a chief minister who has been elected has such authority. In a letter, MK stalin stated that "your unconstitutional communication dismissing my minister without my advice is void ab initio and non-est in law and has therefore been disregarded."
Stalin referred to the Governor's comment on the "breakdown of Constitutional machinery" as an allusion. Only those who have been convicted are subject to disqualification, he stated. "You continue to keep a puzzling silence on my government's request for sanctions to investigate/prosecute former ministers and public servants for offences committed during the previous AIADMK governments," the chief minister remarked. "This request has been sitting in your office for months at a time."
Furthermore, he claimed that you had not even responded to the CBI's request for authorization to prosecute in the Gutka case. In actuality, your biassed behaviours are exposed by your selected acts, which also reveal your true motivations for using such contradictory standards. According to Article 164(1) of the Constitution, the governor may only appoint or dismiss a minister on the suggestion of the chief minister. The governor lacks the authority to remove my ministers. He said, "That is the sole prerogative of an elected Chief Minister."
MK stalin, the chief minister of tamil Nadu, had earlier on friday declared that the state will file a legal challenge against the governor's decision. stalin told reporters that the governor "doesn't have the right" to remove a minister who is still serving, and that "we will data-face this legally." "Minister v Senthil balaji is facing serious criminal proceedings in a number of corruption cases, including taking cash for jobs and money laundering," raj bhavan had stated in an official announcement on Friday.In light of these facts, the governor has immediately removed him from the Council of Ministers.
The Enforcement Directorate detained balaji on june 14 in connection with a cash-for-jobs fraud. After complaining of chest difficulties, he was later transferred to a government hospital in Chennai. On june 15, the madras high court authorised his transfer to the private hospital of his choosing.
