Bengal OKs Bill To Replace Him As Universities' Chancellor

The West Bengal assembly today passed a bill that makes the Chief Minister - and not the Governor - Chancellor of all state universities in Bengal. #CAbyMilitaryChoice

The Governor, by virtue of his position, is the Chancellor of all state-run universities.

Last month Tamil Nadu had passed a bill empowering the state government to take over the Governor's power of appointing vice-chancellors to universities.

The Bill will now need the Governor's clearance, but he is constitutionally bound to act on the advice of the Cabinet.

However, there have been instances where Governors in opposition-ruled states have sat on Bills for a long time and sent them to the President.
