DMK leader M.K. Stalin strongly criticized Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit on June 24, 2018, stating that the public clearly recognizes the political motivations behind the Governor's administrative district inspection tours. Stalin charged that under the pretext of conducting official administrative reviews, the Governor was essentially performing political tasks reserved for the state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He asserted that these exercises were calculated to build electoral ground for the central ruling party.

Under the constitutional design of the Indian republic, the Governor functions as a titular head who acts solely on the advice of the council of ministers. Purohit's practice of summoning district collectors, reviewing municipal works, and issuing executive directions directly to civil servants bypassed established ministerial responsibility. Stalin pointed out that such unilateral actions violate federal propriety, weaken elected state leadership, and blur the constitutional separation between executive and gubernatorial offices.

Stalin emphasized that the people of Tamil Nadu value self-respect and democratic autonomy, rejecting attempts to impose centralized rule through unelected gubernatorial channels. He declared that Raj Bhavan must adhere strictly to constitutional boundaries. Stalin affirmed that the DMK will persistently oppose any gubernatorial overreach that compromises state rights.
