Time for AINRC to ponder about its setback in poll

Puducherry, May 20(UNI): It is time now for the All India N R Congress (AINRC) to ponder about its debacle in the assembly elections held on May 16.
Not only the number of sitting N R Congress members came down from 15 in 2011 to eight in this election, but also all the cabinet colleagues of chief minister N Rangasamy (barring Chandragasu) were defeated. Mr.Chandragasu did not contest the elections owing to health reasons and the AINRC fielded Chandrapriyanga, his daughter who won from Nedumgadu.
The opposition claimed that Mr.Rangasamy failed to function effectively as Chief Minister of the entire Union Territory and performed, as if, he was destined for represent for only one constituency.They also cited that the government jobs (including back-door appointment) were given only to people from his constituency. To substantiate their claim, AINRC bagged Indira Nagar(Rangasamy)Kadirgamam (NSJ Jayabal) and Thattanchavady (Ashok Anand), the constituencies carved out of Rangasamy’s Thattanchavady constituency before trifurcation.
There is no row at position 0.
