‘Interaction with Rajnath routine affair’

At a time when the Andhra Pradesh unit of the BJP and Telangana Congress leaders are up in arms against him, Governor ESL Narasimhan has asserted that his meeting with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was routine and no significance should be attached to it.

He met President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Home Minister in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Mr. Narasimhan, along with other members of the Committee of Governors, constituted during the 48th conference of Governors in October 2017, submitted a report ‘Rajyapal-Vikas ke Rajdoot: Catalytic role of Governors as Agents for Change in Society’ to the President. The committee was constituted to examine the role of Governors in taking forward the developmental process.

While Congress leaders have accused him of favouring the TRS government, BJP leaders have criticised him for ‘not being fair to A.P.’ Brushing aside the allegations, Mr. Narasimhan said: “The differences between elders and children in a family are common and therefore, they should not be given importance.”
