- The CM also made a stinging attack on Ravi, alleging the Governor was keen to block the government's initiatives.
«He returned the Bills due to his personal whims and fancies...it is undemocratic and anti-people to not give assent» to them, the CM said.
He alleged that non-BJP ruled states were being targeted through Governors, apparently by the Centre.
