Hyderabad: Amid continued friction with the Telangana government, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Friday that people of the State are with her. She declined to comment on whether the State government invited her for Telangana formation day celebrations or not.
“I am not going to comment on whether the invitation extended or invitation came or not. I am with the people of Telangana and people of Telangana are also with me. I celebrated with them. That’s all I can say,” she told media persons after the formation day celebration at Raj Bhavan.
The governor had earlier complained that she was not invited by the State government for many key events, including inauguration of Secretariat and unveiling of 125-feet statue of Dr B R Ambedkar. Tamilisai said she had invited those who had fought for Telangana in 1969. “I celebrated formation day with them and I was proud to felicitate them,” she said.
“Today’s celebrations are the answer,” she quipped when asked about Chief Minister KCR’s recent remark that the post of Governor is only ornamental. “People were so affectionate to participate. My doors are always open for people,” she said.
