Chennai: 

Tamil Nadu Water Resources Minister Durai Murugan on Friday accused the Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi of disturbing peace and “lobbying” like a “spokesperson” of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

“Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi without even reading the order of the Honorable Madras High Court, is disturbing peace… The Governor is lobbying as a BJP and RSS spokesperson in Tamil Nadu. What he spoke is highly condemnable,” the Tamil Nadu Irrigation Minister said.

The Governor had allegedly referred to a Scheduled Caste woman panchayat president, P Indumathi who was prevented from assuming office, while speaking at an event on Wednesday.

The Minister accused the Governor of campaigning against the state government without trying to know about the High Order on Navakkaneri village panchayat chairman.
