Kerala CM’s Surprise Meeting with Governor Amid Tensions
Pinarayi Vijayan meets Governor Arlekar at Raj Bhavan, sparking speculation.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan met Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar at Raj Bhavan on Sunday, a Raj Bhavan Facebook post confirmed, amid ongoing friction between the Left government and the Governor. The meeting follows Vijayan’s return from a medical trip to the US on July 15, where he underwent follow-up check-ups.
Tensions have escalated over issues like the display of a saffron-flag Bharat Mata portrait at Raj Bhavan events and disputes regarding university governance in Kerala. The Raj Bhavan post described the visit as a courtesy call, but the timing has fueled speculation about potential discussions to address the strained relations. No official details of the meeting’s agenda were disclosed, leaving observers curious about its implications.
