The winds of change have been kicking up a storm on the Raj Bhavan campus ever since new governor Banwarilal Purohit took office on October 6.
First came the news that Purohit was learning Tamil with the help of a private tutor. Then came his public appeal that visitors should not present him with shawls and bouquets.
Having endeared himself to the masses with these opening gambits, Purohit unleashed a political uproar by convening a meeting of officers serving in the Coimbatore region during his visit to the textile city which is a BJP stronghold. Sweeping away protests from opposition parties, Purohit wielded the broom at Tirupur in a bid to further publicise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet theme of Swachh Bharat.
While all this is in the public domain, little is known about the tempest in the Raj Bhavan itself.
Governor Purohit has declared the Raj Bhavan a vegetarian-only area, strictly prohibiting any non-vegetarian food, including the now pricey eggs. "Neither cooking nor eating of non-vegetarian items is allowed in the bungalows attached to the governor. It has been conveyed that those who wish to eat such food must have it outside," an official told TOI
