Meanwhile, Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader Krishank criticized the government for issuing what he called outdated Government Orders (GOs).

He asked if the GOs were released on March 15, why no Corporation chairman took charge for four months.

Why was it not published to the media then and why was it published today? he asked.

“This explains that it is a retroactive GO. This manipulation from the highest position can break people's trust in the government,” he stated.
