Tirupur: The lieutenant governor of Puducherry or BJP would not be responsible if Puducherry chief minister V Narayanasamy fails to prove majority in the assembly, senior BJP leader L Ganesan said here on Saturday.
“We can’t do anything if Congress cadres jump ship and Narayanasamy fails to prove majority. The last Congress government in south is on the verge of crumbling. It might be due to the recent visit of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to Puducherry and his ill-fortune,” Ganesan, who was in Tirupur to chair a meeting with party cadres to discuss the arrangements needed to be made for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Coimbatore on Thursday, told reporters.
Speaking about the rising fuel prices, the BJP leader said that the central government is forced to collect tax from the public to repay the loans obtained during the Congress rule, which is at Rs 24 lakh crore. “The PM will take necessary steps to control the prices,” he said.
The PM holding hands of chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam in Chennai was a symbolic gesture to show that the alliance is strong, Ganesan said. On the return of expelled AIADMK leader V K Sasikala to Chennai, Ganesan said that only AMMK cadres welcomed her, not the people of Tamil Nadu.
