Tamil Nadu has secured a "historic verdict" from the Supreme Court, Chief Minister MK Stalin said Tuesday, after the court ruled Governor RN Ravi's withholding of assent for 10 bills - including two passed by the previous administration, when the AIADMK was in power - is "illegal" and "arbitrary". In brief remarks to the state Assembly this afternoon the Chief Minister said, "The Supreme Court has granted assent to all bills we passed and (to which) the Governor had refused assent." "This is a big victory not just for Tamil Nadu but all Indian states..." the DMK leader said, referring to similar disputes between non-BJP states and their Governors, who are appointed by the centre.
