One more MLA from the Congress resigned in Puducherry ahead of Narayanaswamy government’s trust vote on Monday.
Raj Bhavan Constituency Congress MLA Lakshmi Narayanan resigned on Sunday bringing the alliance’s number down to 13.
Last week, five MLAs had also tendered their resignation. With one more MLA adding to the growing number of resignations, the Puducherry government is headed towards a big crisis.
Talking to news agency ANI, the former Congress MLA said, “I took this decision because the party didn’t give me due recognition in the government and in the organisation.”
Not ruling out his chances of joining other parties in the UT, Lakshminarayanan said, “I will be joining, as per decision of people of my constituency.”
Lakshminarayanan said he has also resigned from the party membership. The MLA’s resignation comes on a day when the ruling party members are slated to meet CM Narayansamy to discuss the future course of action, though similar discussions on February 18 yielded no results.
