Puducherry, Aug 28: Puducherry Chief Minister N Rangsamy resigned on Thursday, bringing an end to the month-long political uncertainty following a revolt by his cabinet colleagues against his leadership.
Rangasamy tendered his resignation to Lt Governor Govind Singh Gurjar at the Raj Nivas apparently on the directions from the Congress High Command.
Gurjar later told reporters that Rangasamy had handed over his resignation, along with his council of ministers.
The Lt Governor also said that he had asked Rangasamy to continue in office till alternative arrangements were made by the President, which would be known within two or three days.
He said he was forwarding the letter to the President.
Rangasamy was asked by the Congress High Command to step down as Chief Minister after he failed to muster majority among the party MLAs at the CLP meeting on Monday.
The AICC has convened a meeting of the CLP today to elect a new leader.
Earlier, Rangasamy said he was thankful to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and leaders of alliance parties - CPI, DMK and PMK - for their sustained support to enable him evolve various development schemes.
"The High Command was in touch with me since yesterday," he told reporters, adding that he will attend today's CLP meet.
Rangasamy appealed to the people to maintain calm and assured that he would continue to strive hard for the development of the Congress in Puducherry. - Agencies
Speaking at the condolence meeting of former CPI-M general secretary Harkishan Singh Surjeet here, Bhattacharjee said that the Left's support to UPA government was not unconditional.
"We had been opposing the 123 deal as it would undermine the country's sovereignty," he said.
He said that the Prime Minister had broken the coalition by trying to enter into the civil-nuclear deal with the US.
The Left parties are in such a situation now that they have to ward off dangers posed by the Congress on one side and BJP on the other. "In this scenario, we will have to build up a separate front," he said.
Referring to BJP, he said that although the party was not in power, it was trying to raise its `ugly head' as manifested in the recent violence in J&K and Orissa.
Recounting Surjeet's contribution to coalition politics, he said that the Left parties should garner enough strength to fight communal forces.
