Naik made this remark during convocation function of Ram Janki Mahavidyalaya held in

Kanpur Dehat

on Tuesday. Interestingly, while speaking against wearing of ceremonial gowns, the governor himself was donning the same dress. However, after some time, he removed his gown on the stage itself.

Naik also got angry on seeing BJP flags placed all over the college premises. "The governor does not belong to any party, therefore putting flags of any particular party in any programme in which governor is present, is not good", he said.
