We Will Not Try And Form A Government At This Stage Says BJP After Puducherry’s Narayanasamy Govt Collapses

Mumbai: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on Monday that the Congress government led by V Narayanasamy would not claim to form the government in Puducherry after losing a confidence vote in the assembly.

The BJP said with the fall of the government in Puducherry, the “worst chapter” in the Union Territory’s history has closed.

Political upheaval in Puducherry comes months before the upcoming assembly elections.

“We will not try to form a government at this level. With the blessings of the people in the upcoming elections and under the leadership of [Prime Minister Narendra] Modiji, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will form the government in May with the BJP and its coalition partners All India NR Congress and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in May and build a new bright future for the people of Puducherry,” said the BJP state unit president V Saminathan.
