Expected to be honourable

Narayanasamy, who has been at loggerheads with Bedi over her style of functioning since being appointed to the post in the Union Territory, alleged she was rejecting decisions of the elected government and "unnecessarily" interfered with routine governance. Speaking at a function here on Tuesday, he said the former IPS officer had been taking exception to each and every action of the government and questioning even his visit to Singapore and called her "the sister of German dictator Adolf Hitler." Responding to Narayanasamy's jibe, Bedi said, "Honourable Chief Minister is expected to make honourable statements in a honourable way." The chief minister has attacked the Lt Governor on several occasions and has charged Bedi with "functioning like a dictator and hindering implementation of welfare schemes decided upon by the government."
