CPI(M) today staged a demonstration here against Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi over her style of functioning and urged the Centre to recall her immediately.
Secretary of the local CPIM unit R Rajangam, who led the protest, alleged that Bedi had been functioning with the "sole aim of promoting BJP" in the union territory.
The induction of three BJP functionaries as nominated MLAs, holding meeting with officials and carrying out various administrative decisions "arbitrarily skipping" the ministry confirmed she was "keen on implementing her hidden agenda to promote the BJP", he charged.
He urged the Centre to immediately recall her.
Slogans were raised against Bedi by the protesters.
