Whatever, one thing is for sure, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Puducherry on February 25, he would be landing in South India that had ousted the Congress party.
As the political drama has come to an end with the collapse of the Congress rule, the ball is now on the court of Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.
Tamilisai Soundararajan, who has been serving as the Governor of Telangana, has been given the additional role of replacing Bedi as the Lieutenant Governor of the former French Colony.
Chief Justice of Madras High Court Sanjib Banerjee has administered the oath of office for Tamilisai Soundararajan at the ceremony held at Raj Nivas, Puducherry.
Kiran Bedi has been relieved of the post of Lieutenant Governor of Pondicherry. The Union government has ordered the release of Kiran Bedi, the former deputy governor of Pondicherry, and his replacement as the governor of Telangana, Tamizhai Soundarajan.
While BJP is not far away from emerging victorious in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the Central ruling party has been hoping to have a political breakthrough in Puducherry.
On further investigation, it came to light that the man had written posts that had reportedly insulted several other leaders and he had published the posts with the motive of inciting communal violence.
After the news of his demise headlined, several leaders have been paying tribute to the deceased legislator and expressing their condolences to his family. Shankar was surviving by his wife and two children.
According to Puducherry's health department, the union territory has reported 13,556 cases so far as of August 29 of which 4834 are active, 8511 have been discharged, and 211 had succumbed to the viral infection.
