English term or phrase: partisan governors
Hola colegas,

Estoy traduciendo una columna de opinión sobre la situación política de la India, y me encuentro con:

"Over time, the BJP has increasingly centralized power and undermined regional ruling parties by commandeering an ever-larger share of the country’s tax revenues and installing partisan governors in opposition-ruled states."

Por lo general, "partisan" se refiere a "partidista", es decir, "fiel a su afiliación política". Pero en este texto pareciera ser lo contrario. Además, ¿cómo un partido de vigencia nacional podría tener injerencia en los nombramientos de otros partidos en estados que no gobierna?

...."e instalando gobernadores de dudosa fidelidad en estados regidos por la oposición."

Muchísimas gracias de antemano
David

gobernadores afines al partido
Explanation:
Partisan governors" refers to governors appointed to lead a state government who have strong political affiliations with a particular party. In the context of the sentence you provided, it suggests that the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) has been appointing governors who are aligned with their party's interests in states where opposition parties are in power. These governors may prioritize the agenda of the ruling party rather than acting impartially in the interests of the state as a whole.

Gracias a todos por sus respuestas. En una democracia parlamentaria compleja como es la India, es factible que el BJP, que está en el poder a nivel nacional, maneje por vías extrademocráticas el nombramiento de gobernadores en estados no gobernados por él, "adelantándose" a eventuales resultados adversos.
