Bedi was Lt Governor in the Union territory since May 2016. Soundararajan arrived at Puducherry on Wednesday evening and sources said she offered worship at a Pillayar temple in the neighbourhood of Raj Nivas. Chief Minister V Narayanasamy accompanied by Deputy Speaker M N R Balan and Government whip R K R Anandaraman met her at Raj Nivas and felicitated her. A delegation of legislators belonging to the opposition and headed by leader of the opposition and former Chief Minister N Rangasamy (AINRC) called on her and presented bouquets.

Krishna Kumar Singh, Spl.Resident Commissioner, Pondicherry, called on the Telangana governor at Raj Bhavan and handed over the Warrant of Appointment "to discharge the duties as the Lt Governor of Pondicherry," a Raj Bhavan press communique said in Hyderabad. Puducherry has had four women as Lt Governor earlier including Kiran Bedi. This is the first time in the history of Puducherry that a Tamil speaking person has been posted as Lt governor. Outgoing Lt Governor Kiran Bedi was given a farewell guard of honour by Puducherry Police outside Raj Nivas. Sources said Bedi however would remain in Raj Nivas as per her desire till Saturday. Meanwhile the opposition as already moved the Lieutenant Governor’s office asking for a floor test to be held.
