Kiran Bedi appointed Puducherry LG
BJP leader and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi was, on Sunday, appointed Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, a post that has been vacant for the past two years.
The Union Territory was under the additional charge of Lt. Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
A Rashtrapati Bhawan communiqué said: “The President has been pleased to appoint Ms. Kiran Bedi to be the Lt. Governor of Puducherry with effect from the date she assumes charges of her office.”
The appointment comes three days after the Congress-DMK alliance won 17 seats in the 30-member Assembly. The AIADMK, which contested the elections on its own, won four seats while the BJP could not get even a single seat.
The post has been lying vacant after the Narendra Modi government sacked UPA nominee Virendra Kataria on July 2014.
