In this episode of Central hall with Kapil Sibal, the focus shifts to a growing constitutional crisis – how governors are increasingly being used as political tools to undermine elected state governments. With sharp insights from Justice A.K. Patnaik, Justice S. Muralidhar, and senior advocate Dushyant Dave, this conversation unpacks the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on time-bound assent to state bills, and the broader threat to India's federal structure. From personal reflections to constitutional principles, the episode lays bare the politicisation of the governor's role and calls for restoring democratic balance.
