Puducherry chief minister V Narayanasamy, his cabinet colleagues, legislators of the Congress and the DMK and leaders of Congress alliance partners continued their agitation in front of Raj Nivas for the third day on Friday against lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi, accusing her of stalling welfare schemes of the Congress government.
Speaking to reporters on Friday night after holding discussions with his fellow protesters, Narayanasamy said the agitation against Bedi will continue until February 21. Bedi, who left for Delhi on Thursday after attending a private function at Chennai, had invited Narayanasamy for a discussion at 10am on February 21. She will be attending a series of public and private functions in New Delhi until February 20.
It all started after Narayanasamy objected to Bedi’s decision to enforce compulsory helmet rule from February 11. He insisted that the law-enforcement agency should implement the rule in a phased manner. Narayanasamy decided to take to the roads to register his protest and since Wednesday afternoon he has been sitting in a dharna in front of Raj Nivas to protest against Bedi’s intervention in day-to-day affairs of the government.
The protesting leaders, led by Narayanasamy, spent the whole night on Thursday and slept on the road for the second consecutive night. Narayanasamy, who had written to lieutenant governor insisting her to fulfil a 39-charter demand, said Bedi could resolve all issues within an hour but is not willing to do so.
“I gave a letter to her (Bedi) on February 7 (insisting to fulfil 39 demands). But she allotted time on February 21(for discussions). I sent another letter pointing out that she can resolve the issues within one hour,” he said.
When asked on the rationale to continue the stir in her absence in the territory, he said if she conveyed her decision to fulfil all the demands through a letter or over the phone, he would reconsider his decision to continue the agitation.
