Kiran Bedi moves Supreme Court against Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy, seeks clarity on role of MPs in elected govt

Firstpost  

The Puducherry chief minister claimed to have brought Bedi’s interference to the notice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, but to no avail. Puducherry lieutenant-governor Kiran Bedi Tuesday moved the Supreme Court against Chief Minister V Narayanasamy seeking clarity on the authority of the MPs in the elected government in wake of the standoff between Bedi and Narayanasamy. “The elected government has to run the day-to-day administration of the Union territory and the administrator has no power to interfere in the running of the government,” the chief minister had asserted. Referring to the Supreme Court judgment on the tussle between Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, the judge had said the restrictions imposed on the Delhi government were not applicable to the government of Puducherry.
