A two-day State committee meeting of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has adopted a resolution demanding the recall of Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi.
The meeting, which began on Saturday, requested the Union government to recall Ms. Bedi as she “stood like a stumbling block” to the implementation of welfare measures. The resolution stated that the Lt. Governor was running a parallel government.
Recalling the oral observations made by the Chief Justice of India in the case between Delhi Lt. Governor and Chief Minister, the resolution said the situation was more or less similar in Puducherry.
The Puducherry unit secretary of the CPI (M), Rajangam, presented before the committee the works carried out by the local unit in the last three years.
Tamil State executive committee member N. Gunasekaran inaugurated the meeting.
The party’s Central committee members K. Balakrishnan, Sudha Sundararaman, party veterans T. Murugan and V. Perumal attended the conference.
Around 200 delegates are participating in the event.
