Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Governor-State row | Newstrack with Marya Shakil

Senior Advocate and Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi discusses the Supreme Court's recent opinion on a presidential reference regarding governors' powers. Singhvi states the order gives a 'license for delay, delay and delay' to Raj Bhavans in opposition-ruled states like Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala. He argues it dilutes an earlier, stronger verdict and criticises the use of presidential references as a 'technique to reverse inconvenient judgments'. While noting the principle that a governor is not a 'super CM' has been reduced to lip service, he advises state governments to remain vigilant and challenge all delays in court. The interview also covers his perspective on the 'outstanding' tenure of former Chief Justice B.R. Gavai.
