Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Wednesday hit back at Chief Minister V Narayanasamy for describing her as German dictator Adolf Hitler's sister, saying "a CM is expected to make honourable statements."
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."
