Sources have stated that Narayanasamy, will become Puducherry’s new Chief Minister. He will become only the second person to assume the office of Chief Minister without having a seat in the House. In spite of strong opposition and lobbying within and outside his party the Indian National Congress, he is all set to take the reins in the Union Territory.
It is stated that for many years, Narayanasamy has dreamed of becoming the Chief Minister, but was always overlooked and presently his dream has come true, which was stated by a senior Congress party member and through the years, he has made a number of political enemies because of his extreme loyalty to the party.
The former Chief Minister MD Ramachandran has said that Narayanasamy will be the tenth person to become Chief Minister in the Union Territory, and so far 18 governments have been formed and in the history of Puducherry politics, however, only four chief ministers have ever completed their full term of five years in office.
The Congress members hope that the combination of Narayanasamy and the new Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi will be able to bring a struggling Puducherry economy back on its feet.
