Reacting to the poster of herself portrayed as German dictator Adolf Hitler, Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry Kiran Bedi on Friday said it was “seriously objectionable”.
She tweeted a picture which showed the lieutenant governor being chased away.
One of the posters which portrays Lt Governor Kiran Bedi as Goddess Kali released by Puducherry Pradesh Congress committee in Puducherry on Friday. There is also one where she has been portrayed as Goddess Kali.
The posters were reportedly printed for a Congress protest to demand Bedi’s exit; the party has described her as dictatorial after several clashes in recent weeks.
Incidentally, chief minister V Narayanasamy – whose head figured among the ones seen hanging from Bedi’s numerous arms in the poster – had also attended the protest.
Meanwhile, news agency ANI has quoted Kiran Bedi as saying: “You don’t have the right to spoil the image of an office”.
The poster which is making its rounds on social media was allegedly made viral by a unit of Congress in protest against Centre and the Lt Governor over the nominations of MLAs, read a report.
Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, Kiran Bedi was also criticised for taking a negative stand on all the welfare schemes by the territorial government.
The altercation between the Congress-led Puducherry government and the office of the Lieutenant Governor triggered after the Centre nominated three persons as the members of the Legislative Assembly on July 4. CM Narayanasamy accompanied by PCC chief and PWD Minister A Namassivayam, party MLAs and functionaries participated in the demonstration held at neighbouring Thavalakuppam village.
