In a dramatic turn of events, Governor R N Ravi on Tuesday refused to read the customary address prepared by the DMK government in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. According to Lok Bhavan, the governor found these statements misleading and unsubstantiated.

The governor's office accused the Assembly of disrespecting the national anthem and disregarding fundamental constitutional duties. Allegations were also made against Tamil Nadu's claims of investment attraction, with the governor's office stating that actual investments were far from the announced figures.

Ranging from women's safety concerns to declining educational standards and overlooked village panchayats, the issues raised by the governor highlight ongoing socio-political discord within the state. The accusations reflect broader issues of governance and policy efficacy.
