The resolution criticised governor RN Ravi for walking out of the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly without reading his customary address in the beginning of the year for the third year in a row in 2025.

“He is the constitutional head of the state but he does not respect the tradition of the House, he shelves the bills passed by the Assembly, he belittles the Tamil Thai Vazhthu (state anthem) but he sings paeans for Sanskrit and Hindi,” the resolution read. “The Governor is acting like an opposition leader. He is on a confrontational path with the state which left several state universities headless but he goes to the same universities and propagates the ideals of the BJP,” the resolution added.
