Kiran Bedi as
“Adolf Hiter”!
Bedi Tweets
'Congress-made' Poster
Puducherry: The altercation between Congress and Puducherry’s
Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi turned ugly on Thursday, 20th July
2017 as posters portraying the former IPS officer as Adolf Hitler cropped up in
the city.
Bedi tweeted the image of the poster, which superimposed Hitler’s trademark toothbrush mustache on her face. She said it was done by the local Congress unit as part of its ‘Condemnation Agitation against the Central government and the Lt Governor for the process of nominating MLAs.’ The tweet was marked by a ‘folded hands’ emoticon.

Earlier in the
day, members of the ruling Congress protested against the induction of three
nominated members of the BJP to the Puducherry Assembly by the Centre without
consulting the territorial government.
Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy accompanied by PCC chief and PWD Minister A Namassivayam, party MLAs and functionaries participated in the demonstration held at neighbouring Thavalakuppam village.
R K R Anandaraman, the government whip elected from Manavely constituency, told reporters that the demonstration was also to urge the Centre to recall Lt Governor Kiran Bedi for "functioning undemocratically and taking a negative stand in implementing various welfare schemes evolved by the territorial government".
The three leaders were inducted by Bedi as members of the House on the night of July 4 at the Raj Nivas triggering strong protest from the Congress, its alliance partner the DMK, the left parties and the VCK.
A bandh was also observed on July 8 in Puducherry at the instance of these parties to protest against the "undemocratic style of functioning of the Lt Governor and the nomination of three BJP activists by the Centre without adhering to democratic procedures." The parties also sought ouster of Bedi through the bandh and also through a fast on July 7.
