Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi on Friday tweeted out a photo of some posters that have been put up in the city. What the photo reveals is that Kiran Bedi is portrayed as Adolf Hitler, one of the most notorious dictators in the history. She also tweeted another picture saying that there is a series of posters that have come up in the city. While the first one portrayed her as Hitler, the other one shows how the Lt Gov is being chased away. There is also one where she has been portrayed as Goddess Kali.
These posters are sure to increase the tiff between the Congress and the former IPS officer. Bedi said that the posters are being put out by the local Congress unit as part of its series ‘Condemnation Agitation against the Central government and the Lt Governor for the process of nominating MLAs.’
