Governors usually toe State Government’s line. Seldom in independent India has any governor entered into a row with the ruling party in a state. However of late the governors seem to break this tradition. On January 26, the Bihar governor had criticised the Rabri government for the deteriorating law and order in the State. Mizoram Governor A. R. Kohli recently sparked off a controversy, which has threatened to snowball into a major one with the Assam government demanding his removal. The governor, participating in a seminar organised by the North East Chamber of Commerce and Industries (NECCI), has described the North-East as the ‘’most spoilt child’’ in the country. which had not been able to handle the care shown by the Centre. Mr Kohli said,’’This may sound a bit strange...I do not agree that the North-East is the most neglected region. It is in fact the most spoilt child in the country.’’ This has not gone down well with the Assam government, which has  been using every opportunity to ‘’shout from the rooftop’’how they had been ‘’systematically denied’’during the last five years by the NDA  government.of industrialisation in the region. This has also antagonised regional forces like All Assam Students Union (AASU).
