I was transferred to Goa for removing Indira Gandhi’s car: Bedi

Posted: 26 Apr 2010 07:28 AM PDT

Kiran Bedi, who was popularly known as ‘Crane Bedi’ said here that she was fully aware that she would be transferred to a distant place if she removes the car of former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.


“I knew that I will be transferred when I decided to lift Indira Gandhi’s car (for wrong parking). I gave a thought to it and decided to do what was right then,” Bedi told a student who asked her about her daring decision to remove the car of none other than Indira Gandhi herself and what happened after that.

Bedi said, “Wahi hua jo sabeke saath hota hai” (same thing happened which happens with all others). I was transferred to Goa the next day but that did not deter me from doing right things because of my strong foundation of knowledge and value system.”
The students cheered her decision with a loud applause. Bedi was here at Bhopal School of Social Science to participate in a programme, ‘Spectrum 2010′.

Mr Naik said that draft CRZ 2010 draft notification which has been published by the Central Government has given Goa special consideration and, here again, if the State Government plays the required role meticulously and on a war footing, we stand to gain, otherwise, we will loose the advantages. Mr Naik said that it is the congress government  that conceptualized the idea of putting funds in the hands of Member of Parliament, so that, they exercise some authority in the matter of development.

Mr Naik said "Centro Promtor Da Instrucao is one of the oldest educational institutions in Goa and as  such,   I feel privileged that I have an opportunity to help in its development. Mr Vijay Pai Khot MLA of Canacona appreciated the gesture of Mr Naik to give MPLAD fund for constructing a library and laboratory, much needed by the students.

At the outset , Shri Vikas Desai, President of the institution said that former Portuguese Governor personally took interest in giving financial aid to the institution and he  visited the construction site of the project being then built under his assistance , several times before its completion. Shri Amol Pagi compereed the proceedings of the meeting  while  Shri Anil Desai proposed a vote of thanks.
