Puducherry, Jan 25 (UNI) Public Works Department (PWD) Minister A Namassivayam, who resigned on Monday, charged that Chief Minister's action has forced him to quit the Congress party.
In a letter to AICC President Sonia Gandhi, the Minister said after the Assembly election in 2016, Mr Narayanasamy, who did not contest the election, jumped into the fray and staked a claim for the Chief Minister post which forced an unnecessary byelection in Nellithope Assembly constituency.
He said right from the day he has taken charge as the Chief Minister, his only work was to keep confrontation with the Prime Minister, Central Government and Lt.Governor Kiran Bedi deliberately without weighing on the subject and impact that could arise to the people of Puducherry.
