Kerala: To Avoid Governor's Address, LDF Government Decides Not To Prorogue Assembly Session
Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan versus Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala has decided not to prorogue (terminate) the assembly session in order to avoid an address by Governor Arif Mohammad Khan.
Like the first assembly session after every election, the first session of every year is also addressed by the Governor. So by not proroguing the current session, the upcoming budget session in January would be considered as a continuation of the current session.
According to political commentators, the reason for the extraordinary move is the ongoing tussle between the state government and Khan regarding the appointment of vice-chancellors to state universities.
In further proof of the frosty relationship, neither Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan nor any of the ministers from his government attended the Christmas party hosted by Khan at the Raj Bhavan.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
