Kiran Bedi earns AIADMK, DMK’s wrath for ‘slur’ on TN people

Chennai: Tamil Nadu’s ruling AIADMK and the main opposition DMK on Monday condemned Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi allegedly terming the state’s people as “selfish and cowards”.
Condemning Bedi’s statement about the people of Tamil Nadu, AIADMK spokesperson P. Valarmathi said Bedi does not know the decency to say what and when.
Without realising the dignity of the office she is holding, Bedi has made some shocking and painful comments, the former minister added.
“Bedi should fight to get the share of Cauvery water from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and confine herself to her allotted duty,” she said.
DMK President M.K. Stalin demanded Bedi’s immediate recall for her remarks about the people of Tamil Nadu. He also asked Bedi to withdraw her statement and tender a public apology.
According to Stalin, in a WhatsApp conversation with journalists, Bedi referred to the people of Tamil Nadu as “selfish and cowards”.
