Amid rift with Kerala govt, Guv delivers brief speech in House
Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan read only the last paragraph of his policy address, prepared by the government, during the state assembly session, leading to criticism from the opposition party. The governor's brief address lasted a few minutes, and he did not exchange pleasantries with the chief minister. The state government and governor have been at odds over various issues, including pending bills and appointments. Some experts argue that the governor's actions did not comply with constitutional requirements. The governor's speech was the shortest-ever policy address in the history of the Kerala assembly.
