Kiran Bedi

Insecure Governorship

On Tuesday, 16 February, President Ram Nath Kovind issued an order that Kiran Bedi ceased to hold the office of Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry which meant he had withdrawn his pleasure. The President at the same time appointed Tamilisai Soundararajan, Governor of Telangana, “to discharge the functions of the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, in addition to her own duties, with effect from the date she assumes charge of her office until regular arrangements for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry are made.”

Kiran Bedi accuses Puducherry CM of crossing line of decorum

Last week, CM had submitted a memorandum to visiting President Ram Nath Kovind seeking the recall of Bedi, alleging that she had done nothing for the development of Puducherry and instead been "impeding" implementation of various welfare measures and decisions of his cabinet.
