Vidyasagar Rao, who holds additional charge of Tamil Nadu, reached Chennai on Saturday in the backdrop of the Centre clearing the state government’s proposal to promulgate an ordinance to hold ‘Jallikattu’, the bull-taming sport banned by Supreme Court.
Rao, currently the Governor of Maharashtra, holds additional charge of Tamil Nadu after K Rosaiah’s tenure ended in August last year.
The TN government had proposed to issue an ordinance to allow Jallikattu.
Since the subject falls in the concurrent list of the Constitution, it is mandatory to get a nod from the Centre.

As the state-wide protests including at the Marina beach by tens of thousands of protesters entered the fifth day, Panneerselvam said the assent of President Pranab Mukherjee to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 by Tamil Nadu was received last night.
“The assent for the ordinance (amending the PCA Act) has been obtained from Govenor also,” he said, adding, “our dream to conduct jallikattu this year has come true.”
He said a draft Bill to replace the ordinance and amend the PCA Act paving the way for holding jallikattu without any hindrance will be introduced and adopted in the Tamil Nadu Assembly’s session which begins on January 23.
