V Narayanasamy resigns as Puducherry CM

TIL Desk/National/Pudducherry/ Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy meets Lt Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and hands in his resignation.

The Congress-led government in Puducherry on Monday lost the confidence vote sought by Chief Minister V Narayanasamy, in the face of its depleted strength of 11 against the opposition’s 14 following resignation of ruling dispensation MLAs, including a DMK legislator.

Though Narayanasamy moved the motion seeking the confidence vote minutes after the Assembly met for a special one-day session, he and his ruling side MLAs later walked out before the motion was put for voting.
