The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (Amma faction) leader A. Anbalagan on Friday criticised Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi for trying to drive a wedge between elected representatives and the people.
Participating in the debate on motion of thanks to the Lieutenant Governor for her address to the House, he said Ms. Bedi had claimed that public started visiting Raj Nivas to air their grievances as they were neglected by the elected representatives.
“She has forgotten that the members were elected because of the faith the public reposed in them. Whereas, she lost an election in Delhi when she contested on the BJP ticket,” he said.
After criticising the elected representatives, the Lt. Governor had no right to address the Assembly.
‘Crime rate up’
He criticised the government on the law and order front. Crime rate had increased drastically after the new government came to power, he said.
Mr. Anbalagan said the Chief Minister was duty bound to inform the House the reason for suspending Superintendent of Police V. Deivasigamani.
The reason given by the Chief Minister that the officer was suspended for “dereliction of duty,” seems not to be “authentic.”
He urged the government to streamline the beneficiaries for free rice scheme.
