Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy Friday accused Lt Governor Kiran Bedi of taking a "negative stand" on the implementation of various decisions of the cabinet while the latter denied having "obstructed" any welfare schemes.
Referring to the implementation of various welfare schemes in the Union Territory by his government, Narayanasamy said, "the negative stand of Lt Governor Kiran Bedi impeded implementation of decisions of the cabinet."
A release from Raj Nivas also claimed that despite the financial limitations welfare schemes involving defrayment of Rs 1360 crores for payment of old age pension, widow pension, operating free rice scheme among other schemes "were not being compromised."
