Gandhinagar, Sep 1: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding that Governor Kamla Beniwal be recalled over her controversial appointment of Lokayukta bypassing the state government.
Following up on the demand by the BJP central leadership that the Governor be recalled, Modi in the strongly worded letter to the prime minister also demanded that the Lokayukta appointment be annulled.
Modi said the Governor has "wrongly appropriated" the function of the duly elected State Government which is a "major subversion" of the Constitution of India
The letter came against the backdrop of the Governor appointing justice R A Mehta as Gujarat Lokayukta bypassing the BJP government last week. The post has been lying vacant for the last seven and half years.
