Puducherry Cabinet Swearing-In: Puducherry Chief Minister N Rangasamy was sworn in May 7.
Puducherry:
Fifty days after N Rangasamy took over as the Chief Minister of Puducherry, five MLAs including two from the BJP are taking over as ministers in the Union Territory. The long power-sharing talks between the NR Congress and the BJP concluded earlier this week and the announcement was made on Friday, ending the suspense over government formation. This is the first time the BJP which does not have much of a presence in the former French colony is becoming part of the government.
