During the 20 minute meeting, Bedi briefed the Home Minister on various issues concerning Puducherry, official sources said.
Differences between the ruling Congress government in Puducherry and Bedi were witnessed earlier this month after the UT government issued an order, directing all officers, heads of departments and employees of government-owned undertakings to immediately desist from using the social media such as Twitter, WhatsApp and Facebook.
Later on January 5, Bedi had cancelled the order of Narayanasamy banning the use of social media for official communication.
A day after Bedi cancelled the order, eight of the 15 Congress MLAs in the Union Territory said they have sent a joint memorandum to Home Minister Rajnath Singh complaining about her "publicity mongering" and "rigidly autocratic style of functioning".
