Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan recalled on Thursday that she was not invited to the recent inauguration of the Telangana Secretariat in Hyderabad by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.
Soundararajan stated at an event in Chennai that she was not even invited because the CM was ruling the state and questioned if the opposition refers to the president as a non-political person but why you (opposition) don’t say this for Governors.
“Very recently Telangana Secretariat was built magnificently, it was inaugurated by CM. Everyone questioned whether the Governor was invited. (They said) no, since CM is ruling. Not even an invitation for that ceremony was given (to me). You (Opposition) say the President is a non-political person but why you don’t say this for Governors?” said Telangana Governor and Puducherry Lt Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.

“State governments which do not respect the Governors in their respective states are shedding crocodile tears that the constitutional head has not been invited to the inauguration of the new Parliament building. I was neither informed nor invited to the inauguration of the Telangana New Secretariat,” said Soundararajan.
Soundararajan’s remarks came amid an ongoing row over the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled for May 28. However, at least 21 opposition parties have decided to boycott the inauguration in protest of the Prime Minister’s decision to preside over the ceremony instead of President Droupadi Murmu.
