Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Wednesday hit back at Chief Minister V Narayanasamy over his claim that he visited Singapore recently with the Centre's approval, saying it was "grossly misleading and only a self-appraisal."
The Lt Governor in her WhatsApp message said, "the claim of the Chief Minister is grossly misleading. I am sorry to say so. This was a self-appraisal. You recommended and appraised by self which is not the spirit...."
The former IPS officer who has been at loggerheads with the chief minister on various administrative matters since she took over as the Lt Governor in 2016, said the "clearance the Chief Minister had pointed out is only the beginning of the clearance process and not the end of it."

Bedi also wanted the Chief Minister "to make public the details of his recent visit to Dubai as people have a right to know it."
