Chennai, March 6 DMK MP P Wilson said on Friday that Tamil Nadu's outgoing Governor R N Ravi was a constant reminder of the BJP's intentions with the state, and alleged that the Constitution becomes a casualty wherever he is appointed as governor.
The senior advocate made these comments on Friday, in response to the late-night development on March 5, in which President Droupadi Murmu appointed Ravi as the Governor of West Bengal.
In a sarcastic tone, he further said, "I am sad on two counts – firstly, that DMK is losing a star campaigner in the upcoming elections. R N Ravi was a constant reminder of the BJP's intentions with Tamil Nadu," said Wilson, a Rajya Sabha MP.
In a social media post, he said, "Secondly, I am sad for the people of West Bengal and my good friends at the All India Trinamool Congress."
"Wherever he (R N Ravi) goes, the casualty is the Constitution, the federal structure, and parliamentary democracy," he wrote.
Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi has been appointed as the Governor of West Bengal, and Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (retired) has been named as the new Governor of Bihar, as part of major appointments effected by President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday night, May 5.
Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar will discharge the functions of the Governor of Tamil Nadu.
