BJP's Puducherry unit today welcomed the Delhi High Court ruling in favour of the Lt Governor of Delhi in a case relating to the tussle between AAP government and Centre over the administration of the national capital.
President of Puducherry BJP, V Saminathan told PTI that the verdict is "equally and automatically applicable to Union Territory of Puducherry also," as there has been a "tussle" between the Chief Minister V Narayanasamy and Lt Governor Kiran Bedi.
He said it was a matter of concern that Narayanasamy had gone on record stating that all files should be routed through the Ministers to Bedi,he said.
The verdict given by Delhi High court was most welcome and would pave the way for its automatic application for Puducherry also, he added.
There are clear constitutional provisions for the role of Lt Governor in the Union Territory, Saminathan said.
He felt that the Chief Minister should join hands with the Lt Governor for smooth and tussle free administration.
