	NDA seeks recall of Goa, Jharkhand governors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A group of National Democratic Alliance leaders met President A P J Abdul Kalam on Wednesday to complain against Jharkhand Governor Syed Sibtey Razi's decision to invite Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Shibu Soren to form the government in the state.
		The then governor of the state, Ram Lal, had dismissed the then N T Rama Rao government despite it enjoying a majority in the House.
		The action of the Goa Governor, by dismissing an 'elected' government, and the Jharkhand governor, by not inviting the largest pre-poll alliance to form the government, Advani said, had 'besmirched' the Constitutional office.

	The Hindu : Opinion / Editorials : The unmaking of Governors
		Considering the controversies surrounding the actions of Governors in Jharkhand, Goa and Bihar in the recent period, it is understandable that the focus in the two-day Governors' conference was on ways to restore their standing and reputation for fairness.
		A Governor's fairness, judgment and understanding of his constitutional role are put to test in times of crisis or when a government is to be formed when there is no clear cut majority in the legislature or when a government's majority support is called into question.
		While the primary responsibility for restoring the dignity and standing of the office rests on the Governors themselves and on their conduct, the Central Government and the ruling party at the Centre cannot be oblivious of their own role in the making or unmaking of the office of Governor.

	Asean Focus Group - Asian Analysis
		In Jharkhand, a tribal dominated state in eastern India where elections were recently concluded, the NDA (the National Democratic Alliance formed by the BJP and its allies) won 41 out of a total of 80 state assembly seats and staked their claim with the Governor to form the government.
		However, the Governor, Syed Sibte Razi, another appointee of the UPA Government, inexplicably ignored them and instead invited Shibu Soren, a leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), an ally of the Congress, to form government.
		While the President made his displeasure over the arbitrariness of the Governor's action clearly known and ordered the vote in the state assembly to ascertain the majority, the Supreme Court instructed the state machinery to bring forward the date of the assembly vote as a pre-emptive move against coercive measures by the JMM.

		Governor Syed Sibte Razi had given time till March 21 to Munda to prove his Government’s majority in the Assembly.
		More so, in the wake of the dubious role played by the governors of Jharkhand and Goa where the two had "turned majority into minority and minority into majority", he alleged.
		Mr Naidu who also demanded that the Congress-led UPA Government must recall the Jharkhand Governor, alleged that the Congress was only faking innocence when its leadership claimed that it was not aware of the "Centre scripted conspiracy" to prevent a party with a majority (BJP-Janata Dal) from forming the Government there.

		The more Congress tries to distance itself from the highly questionable behaviour of the Governors in Jharkhand and Goa, the more it becomes clear that they were a part of all that has happened.
		There is no doubt that the disgraced incumbents of Raj Bhavan were acting for the benefit of the party that appointed them, something that the Supreme Court has taken note of by advancing the trial of strength in Jharkhand to Friday.
		But even now, there is no hint of remorse as far as the Jharkhand Governor is concerned.
