In the tweet, Kiran Bedi slammed Puducherry chief minister V. Narayanasamy saying that he keeps "stalling the enforcement of road safety rules".

She wrote, "When there’s no culture of wearing a helmet in Puducherry and its CM keeps stalling enforcement & every 3rd day there’s a fatal accident, due to non-wearing of a helmet, where does one begin? Give up or take it in one’s own hands as well, alongside challenging enforcement agencies?"
