In a move that can lead to escalation in tension at the centre, the NDA led central government has asked six UPA appointed governors to vacate their positions. The action is happening behind the scenes right now and seems to be something very similar to what UPA did when it came to power in 2004 and moved on for removal of appointees in the Raj Bhavan, done by the NDA government then.
If sources in the government are to be believed, NDA regime is not going after governors who are nearing the end of their term, but the following governors have been suggested by the Union Home Secretary to put down their papers, through telephonic calls:
- M K Narayanan, West Bengal
- Sheila Dixit, Kerela
- Margaret Alva, Rajasthan
- Kamla Beniwal, Gujarat
- K Sankaranarayanan, Maharashtra
- Devendra Konwar, Tripura
The actions that seem to be a replications of deeds done by the UPA in 2004, are bound for the courtroom, as the NDA back in 2004 had also done the same and the court had ordered in 2010 that government can not remove Governors just on the basis of loss of confidence, since they are not employees of the union government.
