Narayanasamy Criticizes Delayed Ministry Formation in Puducherry

Congress leader V Narayanasamy has raised concerns about the delay in forming a full ministry in Puducherry following the recent partial swearing-in of cabinet members. He expressed his dissatisfaction over the delay in appointing a Speaker and Deputy Speaker for the Assembly.

Speaking to the press, Narayanasamy questioned why N Rangasamy, leader of the AINRC and NDA's chief minister for the region, has not yet included the remaining three ministers required for a complete ministry. He challenged Rangasamy to explain the phased approach to ministry formation, typical of a six-member setup.

Narayanasamy also criticized rumors of ministerial posts being 'auctioned,' demanding clarification from the CM. Meanwhile, after a disappointing election performance, Congress promised vigilant oversight of the new coalition government, with the possibility of launching protests should any governance failures occur.
