Tussle between Puducherry CM, Lt governor

PUDUCHERRY: The fight between Puducherry lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi and chief minister Narayanasamy grew bitter when the former cancelled a circular issued under the instructions of the CM, directing government staff to desist from using social media for official work. The "circular dated January 2 of the department of the personnel and administrative reforms (personnel wing) has been issued in contravention of guidelines, rules and policies in force and is hereby declared null and void with immediate effect," Bedi said in an order. She also posted a copy of the order on her Twitter saying, "If Puducherry has to be a progressive UT, it cannot be retrograde in communications. Since @CM_Puducherry's order stands cancelled:@PMOIndia."
