Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday thanked his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal for commending his government's bill on Governors, and said "the sovereignty of the legislature is supreme in any democracy."
Kejriwal on Saturday wrote to Stalin, appreciating the Tamil Nadu Assembly for passing a resolution seeking a time-frame for governors to approve bills passed by the state legislatures, and said his government will also bring a similar resolution in Delhi Assembly in the next session.
"Thank you Hon’ble ArvindKejriwal for commending TNLA's resolution & joining our bandwagon. Indeed, the sovereignty of the legislature is supreme in any democracy. No 'appointed' Governor shall undermine the legislative power & responsibilities of 'elected' Govts," Stalin said in a tweet.
"Let the fire spread," he said in Tamil.
Stalin had on Wednesday urged non-BJP ruled States to pass resolutions in their respective Assemblies urging the Centre to fix a time limit for Governors to approve bills passed by the legislatures.
The TN Assembly had passed a resolution in this connection last week.
