The Tamil Nadu Governor
The rift between the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and the State Governor has been going on for quite some time. It is high time the incumbent Governor is recalled. (“What was ‘gross’ about the 12 Bills kept pending for 3 years: SC to T.N. Governor”, February 7).

The arrogant stance of the Governor has lowered the dignity of the constitutional post that he holds and the respect that it accords.
That the Supreme Court of India has had to question the Governor for his prolonged inaction is an even more unpleasant situation and a disgrace that he has brought upon himself. It is very apparent that his every action taken against the State has the backing of the party ruling at the Centre.

Opposition unity
“United we win, divided we perish”, is the well- known saying. The INDIA bloc was formed to dislodge Bharatiya Janata Party but, in the process, has become fragmented and, even worse, bereft of a competent captain. This is a simple truth which nurtures the BJP to gigantic proportions. A total revamp of the Opposition strategy is needed which also needs a thundering orator of the likes of V.K. Krishna Menon.

New website and errors
Hours after The Hindu mentioned glitches in the website for the civil services examination (February 7), there is one more major glitch to report. In Part I of the UPSC examination information, the site asks for ‘Add details of Examination/Recruitment’ though I have not qualified for the prelims as yet. When I fill it in, I get a response that a candidate has to fill this only when he has appeared for the mains. If I do not fill this part, i.e., ‘Add details of Examination/Recruitment’, the page does not move.
