Bengaluru, Apr 17 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister's legal advisor and Congress MLA A S Ponnanna on Thursday accused the BJP of misusing the Governor's office to interfere in the governance of non-BJP ruled states, and indicated that the state government may move the Supreme Court against Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s handling of the Muslim quota Bill.
Drawing a parallel with Tamil Nadu, Ponnanna cited the recent Supreme Court verdict that pulled up Governor RN Ravi for delaying assent to Bills passed by the Tamil Nadu Assembly.
"Wherever there is a non-BJP government, the BJP is working through the Governor's office. This is a very bad precedent. Despite the Supreme Court's clear verdict in the Tamil Nadu case, our Governor's actions remain unacceptable. We are being constrained to move the apex court," he told reporters here.
