PM rules out recall of TN Governor

BHUJ, JUNE 4. The Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, today ruled out the recall of the Tamil Nadu Governor, Ms. Fathima Beevi, for swearing in the AIADMK supremo, Ms. Jayalalitha, as the Chief Minister despite her conviction in corruption cases.

Asked by reporters here if he agreed with the Tamil Nadu BJP unit's demand for Ms. Beevi's recall, he said ``no, not at all.'' He said he would find out why the BJP State unit had made the demand.

The Prime Minister's remarks came a day ahead of his scheduled meeting with Ms. Jayalalitha, the first between the two since she assumed Chief Ministership.
