PUDUCHERRY, DECEMBER 2
Continuing his tirade against the Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi , Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Sunday said he would soon move cousrt against the L-G for allegedly impeding implementation of decisions of the elected government constantly.
He told reporters Bedi has been blocking several welfare schemes despite the order of the Madras High Court issued on April 30 this year that she should not interfere in the functioning of the government.
The court had issued the order in a petition filed by Parliamentary Secretary to the Chief Minister seeking to curtail the interference by Bedi.
Narayanasamy said he had decided to post an official as an Election Commissioner for the Union Territory, but Bedi had even questioned this decision. “She does not know the administrative procedures and has been rejecting every decision of the territorial cabinet,” he said.
Therefore, he said he would file a contempt of court petition for interfering in routine governance.
Narayanasamy further alleged that the Centre was delaying compensation of Rs 400 crore to Puducherry due since August for the loss arising out of implementation of the GST.
