MLA files complaint against Kiran Bedi

PUDUCHERRY: Just a day after his verbal spat with Puducherry Lieutenant Governor (LG) Kiran Bedi at a public function, AIADMK MLA A Anbalagan has filed a complaint with the Speaker stating his rights as a member have been violated. The Oupalam MLA was speaking at an event organised by the Government of Puducherry to declare the region as Open Defecation Free (ODF) when his speech was cut short by the LG. The MLA, seeking action on Bedi, said he was interrupted and asked to stop his speech when he was speaking about how people in his constituency end up dumping garbage in an open canal, due to the lack of garbage bins in the area. He wrote, “We are about to announce Puducherry as an open defecation free state. The duty to create the infrastructure for that lies with the government. There are still homes of poor and underprivileged classes that don't have a private toilet.”
