Denying allegations of Puducherry chief minister that there was financial transaction in her office on implementation of projects for desilting water bodies, Lt Governor Kiran Bedi Friday said V Narayanasamy was "telling lies to mislead people".
Earlier, the chief minister said he has written to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh seeking a probe into "unauthorised" mobilisation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds by Bedi for desilting lakes.
Though it was not wrong to appeal to the private organisations for funds under the CSR, it was "highly objectionable" that the office of Lt Governor was receiving the funds for the projects without knowledge of the PWD minister, he told reporters here on Friday.
Denying the allegations, Lt Governor said in a release "The chief minister continues to tell lies to people that there is financial transaction at her office to implement projects to desilt water bodies.We have received no no cheque at all."
