Puducherry Congress depicts Lt Governor Kiran Bedi as Adolf Hitler, 'Maa Kali'

Congress had organised a condemnation rally against Bedi and Central Government for nominating three BJP MLAs to Puducherry assembly.

The tussle between Puducherry Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi and the ruling-Congress took an ugly turn on Thursday as posters portraying the former IPS officer as Adolf Hitler and 'Maa Kali' surfaced in the city.

Bedi tweeted the poster allegedly put up by Manveli Congress Committee which portrayed Bedi as Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and the Goddess of destruction-Maha kaali'.

RKR Anandraman, Congress MLA of Manveli constituency, had organised a condemnation rally against Bedi and Central Government for nominating three BJP MLAs to Puducherry assembly.

He told reporters that the demonstration was also to urge the Centre to recall Lt Governor Bedi for "functioning undemocratically and taking a negative stand in implementing various welfare schemes evolved by the territorial government".

Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy accompanied by PCC chief and PWD Minister A Namassivayam, party MLAs and functionaries participated in the demonstration held at neighbouring Thavalakuppam village.
