‘BJP did not want Congress rule in U.T. during Modi’s visit’

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) executed its plan to see that the Congress government did not exist in the Union Territory when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Puducherry on Thursday, former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy said on Wednesday. “The BJP did not want a Congress government in the Union Territory during Mr. Modi’s visit. They engineered defections in the Congress and the DMK by threatening legislators using the Central agencies and lured them using money power. The same shameful act, done in other States, was repeated in the Union Territory,” he said, addressing an agitation organised by the Secular Democratic Progressive Alliance near Anna Statue.
