Puducherry, Mar 28 (ANI): The door-to-door campaign continues to be the trend adopted by leaders of political parties to woo the voters in all the 30 Assembly constituencies in Puducherry.

The Congress-led alliance has locked horns with a front headed by former Chief Minister N. Rangaswamy.
The Congress has entered into an seat sharing arrangement with the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi(VCK).
Hard bargaining and reconciliation are paving the way for the formation of two formidable alliances in the union territory.
