As per news report of NDTV, for four-and-a-half years, Chief Minister V Narayanasamy campaigned for Kiran Bedi's removal but when it did happen, it was at a time his government looked shaky after four resignations. The reason is linked to the assembly polls due by May. Till late evening, Kiran Bedi was reviewing the COVID-19 vaccination drive in Puducherry and issuing directions for more policemen and sanitation workers in the frontline worker category.
