He said that Kiran Bedi has violated the spirit of the oath of secrecy. Narayanswamy charged that Bedi has been divulging the secret official communication through social media and called it “unbecoming” of a constitutional authority.
The letter highlighted even after taking an oath of office and secrecy as an administrator, Bedi has been revealing all official “secret communications every day in violation of the oath of secrecy.” Talking to reporters, he even recounted his meeting with the LG where he had clarified the powers of LG. He said that Bedi, however, chose to ignore his clarification on the constitutional powers of the elected government.”
The Chief Minister claimed that despite the presence of elected government LG issued orders “day in and day out without authority which only confused the officers”. Addressing the officials, he said, “They need not obey the orders of the Lt Governor and can ignore them.”
