Kiran Bedi derailing work by govt against COVID-19, says Pondicherry CM

Narayanasamy said Bedi has been inciting the public to lodge complaints with the CBI against government officials on resumption of liquor sale. Several liquor godowns had been sealed and merchants were in distress following allegations of illegal sale of liquor. If at all there is any illegal practice of sale of liquor by any merchant or involvement of any official on the sale, the Excise Department could conduct an enquiry and take action, he said.

He said Bedi was playing the role of a police officer to mar the reputation of the government officials and the image of the Congress-DMK government here. The Chief Minister said he had written to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah bringing to their notice the alleged condemnable and objectionable style of functioning of Bedi.

Narayanasamy, however, did not elaborate on what the Centre should do to Bedi, but said she should mend her ways and ensure that the current challenging situation arising out of coronavirus spread was overcome through working unitedly.
