Seems the columnist is echoing the views of Somnath Chatterjee. What is the use of talking of the balance of powers when the legislature is blatantly violating the provisions of the constitution? To accuse the President of favouring BJP is ridiculous. He only did what everyone expected him to do. When the infamous coup of Congress against NTR was enacted in AP, the Governor Ramlal was summoned to Delhi wasn't he?
