Chennai: Reacting to the removal of Kiran Bedi from the post of Puducherry Lieutenant Governor by the Centre, Chief Minister V Narayanasamy said, “Whatever damage had to be done, she has done—it cannot be rectified.”
Speaking to the media, he said, Bedi had been working in an autocratic manner and running a parallel government.
“The removal of Kiran Bedi has been a long-pending demand of the people of Puducherry, because she was behaving in an autocratic manner by violating rules of business,” she said.
The Chief Minister added: “She was trying to run a parallel government, making field visits without the knowledge of the Chief Minister and Ministers, issuing independent orders against the wishes of the elected government, blocking welfare schemes.”
He further said, “The people know that she was encouraged by the BJP government at the Centre, and BJP leaders in Puducherry. Therefore, the people of Puducherry will reject the BJP in the elections.”
