Dismissing allegations that his utterances and actions were politically motivated, UP Governor Ram Naik on Friday asserted that he was discharging his duties in a manner mandated by the Constitution. “I don’t know what allegations are being made against me. As the state’s Governor, I am discharging my duties in a constitutionally and morally appropriate fashion. My duties often require me to intervene in matters relating to law and order and education. That is all I have to say,” he said.
Naik was responding to queries on allegations often levelled by leaders of the ruling Samajwadi Party in the state that his actions were often aimed at benefiting the BJP.
