Former Chief Minister and Congress leader V. Narayanasamy on Thursday said there was nothing substantial for the National Democratic Alliance government headed by Chief Minister N. Rangasamy to claim as an achievement in the last six months after the alliance returned to power in the April 2026 Assembly elections.
Addressing a press conference here, the Congress leader said the entire Cabinet was in a “slumber” after returning to power. “In fact, the Ministers are conspiring against the government itself. I will disclose at the appropriate time about the Ministers involved in the conspiracy. The stability of the government itself is doubtful now,” he said.
Mr. Narayanasamy said there was a cold war going on between the Chief Minister and the Lieutenant Governor.
“During the tenure of my Chief Ministership, the Congress government too had differences with the then Lt. Governor [Kiran Bedi]. Our fight with the Lt. Governor was on policy matters due to different view points on implementation of welfare schemes. But the present government’s opposition to the Lt. Governor was because he was not allowing the Cabinet to indulge in corruption. The Lt. Governor is standing in their way for looting,” the Congress leader said.
The former Chief Minister also flayed the AINRC-BJP government over the law and order situation prevailing in Puducherry. The recent incidents of murder was a reflection of the deteriorating law and order in the region, he said.
