According to media reports, a group of DMK supporters rushed to Krishnagiri toll Plaza and staged a protest against Purohit by showing black flags along the route of the Governor’s convoy. The principal opposition party has been continuously accusing Tamil Nadu Governor of interfering in state administration where disciplinary actions were orders against the reported DMK sympathizers.
As quoted by The Hindu, on Tuesday Purohit sacked Bharathiar University Vice-Chancellor A. Ganapathi who was under the scanner Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption for his alleged involvement in a graft case.
