Hyderabad: In the wake of Telangana government approaching the Supreme Court against the delay in giving assent to 10 key bills passed by two houses of state legislature by Governor Dr Tamilsai Soundararajan, the latter on Friday said that the ‘Raj Bhavan is nearer than Delhi.’

In a tweet, the Governor said, ‘Dear @Telangana CS Rajbhavan is nearer than Delhi. Assuming office as CS you didn’t find time to visit Raj Bhavan officially. No protocol! No courtesy even for courtesy call. Friendly official visits & interactions would have been more helpful which you Don’t even intend”.

The petition filed by the Chief Secretary in the Apex Court on Thursday said that the state government was forced to approach the Top Court under Article 32 of the Constitution due to the constitutional impasse created on account of the governor’s refusal to act on several bills passed by the state legislature.

‘Any refusal on the part of the Governor including any delay will defeat the parliamentary democracy and the will of the people. Hence, the writ petition,’ the government said.

The bills pending with the Governor since September 14, 2022 are Azamabad Industrial Area (Termination and Regulation of Leases) (Amendment) Bill, 2022; Telangana Municipal Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022; Telangana Public Employment (Regulation of Age of Superannuation) (Amendment) Bill, 2022; University of Forestry Telangana Bill, 2022; Telangana Universities Common Recruitment Board Bill, 2022; Telangana Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Bill, 2022; Telangana State Private Universities (Establishment and Regulation) (Amendment) Bill, 2022; Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (Amendment) Bill, 2023; Telangana Panchayat Raj (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Telangana Municipalities (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
