“The Hon’ble Governor of Telangana and Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan has tendered her resignation with immediate effect. The resignation has been submitted to the Honourable President of India,” an official communique said.

"In the last few days, the LG has rendered numerous people homeless. Now, before the elections, he is playing drama and shedding crocodile tears because he knows that people living in unauthorised colonies and slums will vote against the BJP because of the demolitions," the AAP government charged. 

As soon as the governor began delivering his address, Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring raised the farmers' issue and said that homage be paid to Shubhkaran Singh - 21-year-old who died during clashes between the protesting farmers and Haryana security personnel. 

Atishi specifically mentioned the recent demolition of the residence belonging to Wakeel Hassan, a rat-hole miner who gained recognition during the Silkyara tunnel rescue operation.
