Chennai: Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday declined to comment on the possibility of the Union government extending the term of office of Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi since his five-year term is set to expire.
Speaking to reporters here, Stalin, when asked on claims that Ravi has chances to continue in office, he said: “I am neither the President nor the Prime Minister.”
Ravi, who assumed office as Nagaland Governor on August 1, 2019 was transferred to Tamil Nadu in 2021. He took over as 26th Governor of Tamil Nadu on September 18, 2021.
According to the Constitution, a Governor holds office during the pleasure of the President. Subject to such provisions, a Governor shall hold office for a tenure of five years from the date on which he assumes office.
