Puducherry CM condemns 'Hitler' poster of Kiran Bedi; says L-G office is sacrosant

Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Friday evening condemned the derogatory posters that targeted the union territory’s Lieutenant Governer (LG) Kiran Bedi, saying that the L-G office was sacrosanct.

“I don't approve of such kind of posters & have appealed to people.” Narayanasamy told ANI.

Bedi on Friday morning tweeted a series of posters allegedly put by the Puducherry Congress that lampooned her. The former police officer is Hitler and Goddess Kali in these posters, which have apparently been taken out by members of the ruling Congress.

The posters were reportedly printed for a Congress protest to demand Bedi's exit; the party has described her as dictatorial after several clashes in recent weeks.

“You don't have right to spoil image of an Office. It is seriously objectionable,” Bedi said, adding respectful means of protest can be found without disrespecting constitutional offices."
