Bedi's ongoing tussle with Puducherry CM

Amidst the ongoing tussle between the Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy and the Union Territory’s Lt Governor Kiran Bedi, the latter reacted to the CM petitioning President Ram Nath Kovind to intervene and recall her from her position. In an exclusive interview to Republic Media Network, Kiran Bedi clarified on a number of key issues relating to the incident.

Notably, the Chief Minister had earlier presented a detailed memorandum to the President urging him to remove Kiran Bedi as Lt Governor, stating she has been “impeding” implementation of various welfare measures made by the cabinet.

In the interview, Kiran Bedi reacting to the recent developments explained, “The presence of a sensitive Lt Governor office does not suit the HCM (Hon’ble CM)”. She further added that since the Chief Secretary of Puducherry (Shri. Ashwani Kumari) and along with the Lt Governor’s office are “not facilitating setting up of casinos, lotteries and breweries in Puducherry”, it has led to creating some friction between both the offices." 

"The Lt Governor also explained that while her office wants more accountability and transparency in terms of financial transactions “to prevent transit leakages and pilferages”, the “HCM prefers cash transactions” instead of direct bank transfers.
