Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Thursday charged Lt Governor Kiran Bedi with "impeding" implementation of the cabinet decision to distribute rice to card holders under free rice scheme.
Replying to a query by Independent MLA V Ramachandran during question hour in the Assembly, Narayanasamy said, "the cabinet had taken a decision that card holders be distributed rice every month."
Intervening, Anbalagan (AIADMK) said, "our party legislators would not turn up for the meeting. Both the Lt Governor and the government are staging a drama taking the people for a ride in the free rice scheme."
