Kerala dismisses its governor from his position as this university’s chancellor after a major controversy.

The state government of Kerala dismissed Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan from his position as chancellor of the Kerala Kalamandalam deemed university on Thursday, a day after a severe escalation in the conflict between the two parties.
The state administration declared that it would alter the university’s policies so that Mr. Khan would be replaced by a notable figure in the fields of art and culture.

The governor, who represents the BJP-led central government, is well-known for his many conflicts with the Democratic Front (LDF) government in the state.

The action was taken a day after tensions between the governors and governments of three southern states that are not governed by the BJP erupted. Tamil Nadu demanded the recall of RN Ravi, Kerala proposed a special ordinance to replace Mr. Khan as chancellor of state universities, and Tamilisai Soundararajan expressed doubts about whether Telangana had tapped her phone.

The administration of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has declared that it no longer desires the governor to oversee the state’s institutions. The two sides have been at odds more and more regarding how universities operate, particularly the choice of vice chancellors.

The Kerala Kalamandalam’s administrative structure and governance system must abide by the choices made by the state government, according to the updated regulations of the declared university.
