Chennai: DMK's mouthpiece, Murasoli, in its editorial criticized Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi over his delay in sending anti-NEET Bill to President for his assent. The newspaper also titled the editorial as 'Sir, You are not the President'.
In a strong-worded jibe, the editorial of the newspaper said, the duty of the Governor is to pass the bill submitted by Tamil Nadu Assembly to President but the Governor failed to do even his duty.

Further, it said, the Governor is misled by some people.
