EC complaining for Rajasthan Governor to President: Governors should be non-political
It refers to Election Commission on 01.04.2019 complaining against Rajasthan Governor Kalyansingh for his political statement made on 23.03.2019 wherein he advocated present Prime Minister to continue even after forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.
It is quite usual that political persons appointed as state Governors give such political statements like earlier done by present Madhya Pradesh Governor in April 2018.
It is not proper to misuse dignified post of state Governor for political waste. Posts of state Governors must be only for politically neutral persons like retired judges and bureaucrats who might not have ever affiliated with any political party. There have been many cases earlier when politicians appointed as state Governors have misused Raaj-Bhawans (Governor Houses) like party-headquarters dancing to tunes of political masters at the centre and ignoring even physical claim of deserving aspirants for posts of Chief Ministers claiming majority support of members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs). However any such posting must have at least gap of two years with the previous assignment for checking any possibility of bias in favour of government to get post-retirement assignments.
