Hyderabad : Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday defended her action in receiving representations from people by holding Praja Darbar, saying she wants to act as a bridge between the state government and the public.
Soon after holding the maiden Praja Darbar’ as Mahila Darbar’ at Raj Bhavan to hear the grievances of women, she dismissed the criticism that she is crossing her limits.
She argued that when she as the highest Constitutional authority in the state is willing to serve people, why should she be denied the opportunity.
The Governor, who received over 500 petitions from women, did not agree that it amounts to running a parallel government.
“This is a Constitutional office. I am practising only what should be practised by a Constitutional authority,” she said.
“Those saying it is unconstitutional should first respect the Constitution,” the Governor said when asked about the statements by leaders of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) describing her action as unconstitutional.
