Puducherry poll results: People fed up with AINRC: Congress' V Narayanasamy

PUDUCHERRY: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister V Narayanasamy today said the poll verdict in Puducherry, where the ruling AINRC was dislodged from power, is a clear indication that people were "fed up" with its administration.

Immediately after the results were declared, giving the Congress-DMK combine a simple majority of 17, the Congress leader said, "AINRC government had failed on all counts including in maintenance of law and order. There was no development whatsoever in Puducherry during the last five years," he told PTI here.

"People are totally fed up with the AINRC administration and they have now reposed confidence in the Congress-DMK combine," he said.

Asked when the legislature party leader would be elected to form the government, he said that would be decided by the Congress high command.

Narayanasamy thanked the people for the support extended to the Congress-DMK alliance.
