Pvt member bill to make Governors bound by advice of Council of Ministers rejected in RS

In a significant development in the Rajya Sabha, a private member bill proposed by John Brittas of CPI (M) to make Governors act constitutionally on the advice of the Council of Ministers was defeated.

During the Question Hour yesterday (Thursday), this House, though for a few minutes, discussed the exorbitant prices and exploitation faced by our expatriates.
