Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has brought forth a resolution in the state Assembly to reassess 10 bills that were previously passed by the House but returned by Governor R N Ravi. This move follows the Governor's refusal to provide assent to the bills, creating a contentious deadlock between the executive and legislative bodies.

Stalin's resolution highlighted that the Governor, without specifying reasons, withheld assent to the bills. Referring to Article 200 of the Indian Constitution acknowledges that re-passing the bills and submitting them to the Governor mandates his approval without withholding assent.

The Chief Minister criticized the Governor's actions, accusing him of obstructing governmental initiatives without valid reasons. Stalin condemned the alleged undemocratic stance of denying assent, citing personal preferences over the bills passed by the Assembly.

The ongoing conflict between non-BJP-ruled states and Governors, seemingly influenced by the central government, was emphasized by Stalin. This action comes after the Governor had previously returned bills and delayed decisions on pending legislative matters, leading to tensions between the ruling DMK regime and the Raj Bhavan.

The Supreme Court's recent involvement highlighted concerns over the Governor's delay in granting assent to bills passed by the Assembly. The Court addressed the delay as a serious issue and sought the Centre's response to the state government's accusations of the Raj Bhavan deliberately stalling 12 bills and other legislative decisions.
