FollowThe clash between the Puducherry Deputy Governor Kiran Bedi and Chief Minister Narayanasamy has reached its peak. What is the actual problem between them?
Puducherry, the Union Territory town is under the direct governance of central government. Although Puducherry has a separate Assembly, the Chief Minister, Ministers and the Officials should act under the supervision of the Deputy Governor.
Kiran Bedi Vs Narayanasamy:
Instructing the government officials and employees to be punctual, Kiran Bedi has formed a Whatsapp group and ordered them to update their work details.
In one such moment, an official had filed wrong information in the group and Kiran Bedi had suspended him without informing the Chief Secretary.
The issue has provoked tension among ministers and legislators. Following this, meetings were held by the authorities without informing the members of the Assembly. Municipal Commissioner R Chandrasekaran, who considered this as a breach of rights, showed his support to Kiran Bedi. He was then replaced by an order of the Chief Secretary.
In addition to this, Narayanasamy has instructed not to implement any official orders from the deputy governor without his approval.
Following this Kiran Bedi, started to strongly criticize the authorities in the social networking sites.
She released 32 questions in Whatsapp against Narayanasamy.
The clash reached its peak when Narayanasamy ordered the officials not to meet Kiran Bedi without the permission of the Cabinet.
Recently, Kiran Bedi administered the oath of office to three MLAs nominated to the legislative Assembly by the BJP. This sparked political protest in Puducherry.
Meanwhile, The Puducherry Speaker has sent the files relating to the appointment, back to the Governor’s House saying that the details on the files were improper.
A case has also been filed against her by the Assembly member Lakshminarayanan.
Either way, the announcement of verdict would surely cause great political tension in Puducherry.
