Pondy CM warns those impeding welfare of people

Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Saturday warned that those indulging in "anti people activities" and impeding welfare of the people will be "jettisoned".

His statement comes a day after Lt Governor Kiran Bedi alleged brow-beating of officials in the territorial administration by a section of political parties, "to overawe them and to hopefully make them ineffective."
He said, "those indulging in anti people activities and rejecting the welfare of the people will be jettisoned as in a democracy the privileges of the people should be honoured."
"People are supreme in a Republican set up and hence there would be no room for those acting to the detriment of welfare of the people."
In an open letter to team members (officers) of the administration, the former IPS officer had said she was aware that some of the officials and their juniors were being brow- beaten by vested interests "to overawe them and to hopefully make them ineffective."
