Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday (November 8, 2022) accused the Centre of using governors in non-BJP ruled states to “encroach” into the powers of those governments and legislatures when horse-trading was not possible. This accusation came amid a dispute between the LDF government and Governor Arif Mohammed Khan over a number of issues. The leader of the Marxist-leaning Communist Party of India also said that efforts were being made to “financially squeeze” such states. Additionally, he claimed that attempts were being undertaken to overthrow democratically elected governments and that the Constitution and democracy were being “trespassed.”
