Puducherry, May 16 (ANI): All India NR Congress (AINRC) founder N Rangasamy, whose party made a stunning electoral debut in alliance with AIADMK in the assembly polls, will be sworn in as Puducherry Chief Minister here today.
Lt. Governor Iqbal Singh will administer the oath of office and secrecy to him at 3.30 p.m at Raj Nivas.
Two-time Chief Minister Rangasamy returns to power nearly three years after being unceremoniously removed by Congress high command following a revolt by his cabinet colleagues.
Rangasamy on Sunday met Lt Governor and staked his claim to form the government, soon after being elected AINRC Legislature Party leader.
Independent MLA V M C Sivakumar, who also accompanied him, gave a letter extending support to AINRC.
With the support of Sivakumar, a rebel DMK man, the AINRC would command a simple majority of 16 in the 30-member House.
Rangasamy, who won from both seats he contested, said his government would fulfill all promises made in the AINRC manifesto.
The special component plan meant for the Scheduled Castes would be implemented in letter and spirit. (ANI)
