It's Official Now! Governor Empowered For Section 8

It is official now! The attorney general of India, Mukul Rohatgi has confirmed that he did indeed advise Narasimhan to use his authority and implement Section 8 if necessary as the Act did indeed confer him with such responsibilities.

However, Rohatgi said that it was only an oral confirmation and he did not give it to Narasimhan in writing. But that woud probably not make much of a difference as you would not expect the Attorney General to say one thing verbally and then give contrary instructions in writing. Perhaps,

It was this assurance by the Attorney General that was instrumental in the Governor overriding the decision of the TRS government regarding the Telugu University and Dr B R Ambedkar University notifications.

The TRS is obviously not going to react in a civil fashion to this interpretation. Further developments are anybody’s guess.
