"There is an old saying in villages, 'don't count the leaves (banana leaves used as plates for feast), if you are asked to pick it'...Governor's job is similar to picking up leaves," the DMK leader said.
While speaking at an event, Shivaji Krishnamoorthy said, “Don't I have the right to assault the Governor if he refuses to utter Ambedkar's name in his address to the Assembly? Go to Kashmir and we'll send terrorists so that they will gun you down there if you (governor) don't read the speech given by the Tamil Nadu government.”
