Amid renewed demands by ruling Congress and others for her recall, Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Wednesday said she and her office would remain constant and steadfast in principles of administration and zealously guard the way public money is spent.

Brushing aside the demands that the Centre recall her, Bedi in a message to the mediapersons said she was "so used to reading the demand daily in the media that it has stopped making any news for me".

The former IPS officer, who has been accused of causing hindrances in implementing welfare schemes of the elected government, said "While issues change, the duty of the office of Lt Governor does not change as it is based on legal accountability and not on political volatility."
