Chennai, TNPSC – In a surprising turn of events, the governor has rejected Shailendra Babu’s recommendation for appointment as chairman. This move has sparked controversy and led MDMK General Secretary Vaiko to express his views on the matter.
Previously, the Government of Tamil Nadu had put forth a recommendation for the appointment of former DGP Shailendra Babu as the Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Civil Service Selection Board. However, Governor RN Ravi’s rejection of this recommendation is being seen as an authoritarian decision that oversteps his jurisdiction.
Vaiko criticized the governor’s decision, stating, “A governor who consistently rejects the recommendations made by the Tamil Nadu government is not elected by the people. I strongly condemn the Tamil Nadu Governor who is acting as an agent of the BJP government.”
This rejection has raised questions about the power dynamics between the state government and the governor’s office. The governor’s authority to reject recommendations put forth by the government is now being debated, with critics arguing that it undermines the democratic process.
Shailendra Babu’s qualifications and eligibility for the position have not been mentioned, but the rejection has ignited a larger issue regarding the role and influence of the governor in Tamil Nadu politics.
As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the governor’s decision and whether any legal action will be taken. The matter has also raised concerns about the integrity and independence of the state’s civil service selection process.
The rejection of Shailendra Babu’s recommendation as chairman by the governor has triggered a significant debate and could have far-reaching implications for Tamil Nadu politics.
