Shiv Pratap Shukla sworn in as Telangana Governor, assumes constitutional duties

तेलंगाना के राज्यपाल के रूप में शिव प्रताप शुक्ला के शपथ ग्रहण की खबर सीधे पुंछी आयोग की राज्यपाल कार्यालय से संबंधित व्यापक सिफारिशों से जुड़ती है। आयोग ने राज्यपाल की नियुक्ति, कार्यकाल, हटाने और विवेकाधीन शक्तियों की गंभीर रूप से जांच की, जिसका उद्देश्य केंद्र और राज्यों के बीच घर्षण को कम करना था। यह घटना राज्यपाल के संवैधानिक कर्तव्यों के व्यावहारिक अनुप्रयोग पर प्रकाश डालती है, जैसे राज्य विधानसभा के बजट सत्र को संबोधित करना, एक ऐसी भूमिका जिसे आयोग राजनीतिक दुरुपयोग से बचाना चाहता था।
