CM V Narayanasamy demands full statehood for Puducherry
After Delhi Assembly passed the resolution for full statehood, Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy also demanded full statehood for his Union Territory. He claimed Puducherry faces the same issues as Delhi. "(Lieutenant Governor) Kiran Bedi has been slowing down the process of governance by rejecting or delaying the government project, but despite that the elected government is functioning," the CM said.
