NEW DELHI: The Congress today demanded the recall of Puducherry Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi and West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi, accusing them of compromising on constitutional propriety.
The party also accused the BJP of “denigrating, decimating and abusing” the institution of the governor.
Congress spokesperson Sushmita Dev said that ever since the BJP-led NDA Government assumed office, the role of Governors appointed by it had been questionable, be it in Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal or Puducherry.
Governors are becoming political “puppets for the conspiratorial machinations” of the BJP-RSS, it alleged.
Dev said Bedi had “violated every established norm and tradition in swearing in three defeated BJP candidates as nominated MLAs in the state assembly”. (AGENCIES)
