Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi has returned a letter from Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy charging her with violating “the spirit of the oath of secrecy” as it was “impolite” in tone.

Mr. Narayanasamy had, while addressing the media the other day, shared copies of his letter in which he took exception to the fact that although as an administrator Ms. Bedi had taken oath of office and secrecy, she had been issuing, on a daily basis, official “secret communications violating the oath of secrecy which was unbecoming of a constitutional authority.”

A miffed Lt. Governor conveyed to the media that she was returning the letter in original as it was found to be “highly impolite”, especially considering that it was addressed to a Constitutional office.

“If it (referred by the CM at the press meet) is the same one written to the Lt. Governor, I wish to inform that it was returned in original as it was considered highly impolite written to a Constitutional office,” Ms. Bedi said.

She charged the Chief Minister with being “rude even earlier in several of his letters.” “However, it has now become a pattern,” she added.
