One day later she was removed As deputy governor of Puducherry, Kiran Bedi thanked the government for a “life experience” and said that everything she had done was a “sacred duty.” Wishing for a “prosperous Puducherry”, Bedi said “TeamRajNivas” worked diligently to serve the broader public interest.
Bedi’s removal comes at a time when the ruling congressional government has lost its majority after four of his MLA resigned of the Assembly.
The ruling Congress-DMK alliance and the AIADMK-BJP opposition alliance now have 14 MLAs each in the House which has a current effective strength of 28. While the Opposition demanded the resignation of the government on Tuesday, Chief Minister V Narayanasamy said that it retained the support of the majority.
Thank you to everyone who was part of my journey as Vice Governor of Puducherry.

The removal of LG Bedi, the Chief Minister said, was “a long-pending lawsuit from the town of Puducherry.” Bedi, he said, “was behaving autocratically, violating business rules, trying to run a parallel government, (and) issuing independent orders against the wishes of the elected government …”.
The Center, he said, had “woken up now,” with only a few weeks to go until the Assembly elections. “I don’t know if it was because of elections. (But) whatever damage needs to be done, it has. It cannot be rectified. The people of Puducherry will remember it and it will be fresh in their memory, ”Narayanasamy said.
The governor of Telangana, Tamilisai Soundararajan, former president of the Tamil Nadu BJP, received the additional post of Puducherry.
