Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy has charged Lt Governor Kiran Bedi with "violating the spirit of oath of secrecy"by "divulging all secret official communications" through social media and said it was "unbecoming" of a constitutional authority.
In his letter to Bedi yesterday, he pointed out that though as an Administrator she had taken oath of office and secrecy, she has been issuing every day all official "secret communications violating the oath of secrecy which was unbecoming of a constitutional authority."
Recalling his meeting with Bedi where he had apprised her of Lt Governor's powers, he said, "You brushed aside whatever I told you about the constitutional powers of the elected government."
Noting that the Lt Governor was issuing day in and day out orders without authority which only confused the officers, the Chief Minister claimed that they (officials) "need not obey the orders of the Lt Governor and can ignore them."
