Will resign after completion of my tenure, says Bedi amid Puducherry CM vs LG fight

January 08, 2017 10:10

Amid growing differences between her and the Congress government, Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Saturday said she would quit the post in May next year on completion of two years in office.

"I have given myself a tenure here. I shall relinquish my office on May 29, 2018 when I complete two years in Puducherry," she said in a communication to PTI.

Bedi said that she has already informed her 'seniors' about this.

Her statement comes a day after Congress MLAs shot off a memorandum to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh complaining about Bedi's style of functioning in the backdrop of her cancelling an order of Chief Minister V Narayanasamy banning officials from using social media for official communication.
