Outgoing Chief Minister M. K. Stalin on Thursday urged the Governor to ensure the immediate formation of a new government, saying the dissolution of the existing Legislative Assembly made it imperative for the constitutional process to move forward without delay.

In a post on social media, Stalin said the Assembly had already been dissolved and the Governor had issued the required proclamation.

‘Most Important Duty Of Democracy’

Stalin said the formation of a new administration was essential so that newly elected legislators could take oath and governance could continue uninterrupted.

“...The existing Legislative Assembly has already been dissolved, and the Governor has issued the proclamation to that effect. In such a situation, it is not only the compulsion of the times but also the most important duty of democracy that a new government must be formed for the elected Members of the Legislative Assembly to take their oaths of office and to advance the welfare of the state!” he wrote.
