Summary:
Chennai, Sep 10 (PTI) Opposition AIADMK and PMK on Friday greeted RN Ravi over his appointment as the Governor of Tamil Nadu but the Congress" state unit doubted the Centre"s "intention" over the move, wondering if it was an attempt to target the MK Stalin-led DMK government.
TNCC President K S Alagiri said former IPS officer Kiran Bedi, after being appointed as Lt Governor of neighbouring Puducherry, when the Congress was in power there, created "many roadblocks" following which a "number of welfare schemes could not be implemented" there.
Top AIADMK leaders O Panneerselvam and K Palaniswami extended their greetings to Ravi.
"On behalf of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, I welcome the appointment of Thiru R N Ravi, a retired IPS Officer who played a crucial role in the Naga peace talks, as the Governor of Tamil Nadu," Panneerselvam, the party Coordinator, said in a statement.
"His appointment will certainly boost the development and fortune of Tamil Nadu to a great extent.
I wish him all success," he added.
