Resolution passed against Puducherry Lt Governor

CHENNAI: Puducherry Assembly has passed resolution asking the Centre to curtail powers of Lt Governor Kiran Bedi for not cooperating with the democratically-elected government. The move came amid an ongoing tussle between Bedi and the Congress government in the union territory. Trouble began when Bedi conducted a surprise inspection of the counselling process by the Centralised Admission Committee in Puducherry and directed officials to ensure that 50 per cent of the seats available under government quota were filled, not given to private colleges or under all India quota.
