Hello
Narayanasamy, who led the Congress government, resigned on Monday ahead of the confidence vote after his government was reduced to a minority following a spate of resignations of his party MLAs.
After the BJP won the Lok Sabha elections in 2014 it adopted the shrewd political strategy of capturing power in states by toppling governments opposed to it.
The Congress government in Puducherry fell on Monday after Chief Minister V Narayanasamy resigned ahead of the confidence vote in the Assembly with the coalition ministry reduced to a minority due to a spate of resignations of party MLAs.
After two legislators leaving the party on Sunday, the government's numbers had dropped to 11 MLAs in the assembly where 14 is the majority mark.
With the new development, the Congress alliances strength further slipped to 13, while the opposition has 14 MLAs in the 33-member house which has five vacancies.
The direction from the President comes amid the political crisis where the ruling Congress-led government has been reduced to a minority after one more MLA quit the party on Tuesday.
The case stems from a dispute over the government's decision to cancel the registration of vehicles that are registered in the UT of Puducherry but run regularly in Kerala.
Very severe cyclonic storm Nivar made landfall near Puducherry in the wee hours of Thursday even as heavy rains lashed Tamil Nadu and the union territory leading to inundation and uprooting of trees.
The Tamil Nadu government said people may contact the emergency call centres at 044-28888105 and 7338895011. In Puducherry, the control rooms with phone numbers 1070 and 1077 were in place in addition to emergency response teams.
Under its influence, widespread rainfall/thunderstorm were 'very likely' over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal during November 24 to 26, the IMD warned.
