However, on Tuesday, he said that he wouldn't want to disclose the reasons behind his disagreement to continue as a chancellor. "If it (chancellorship) were part of my constitutional duty, I can be blamed but it is not. The law passed by Kerala Assembly has given this duty to me&if I see those who've made the law are themselves breaking that law every day, what shall I do?" the Kerala Governor questioned as quoted by ANI news agency.
