The government has sought sanction to appoint senior legislator K. Lakshminarayanan as pro tem Speaker of the Puducherry Legislative Assembly. “Chief Minister has sought sanction from the Lt. Governor to appoint Mr. Lakshminarayanan as pro tem Speaker for swearing-in the newly-elected MLAs and to conduct the proceedings to elect the Speaker. The file was forwarded a few days ago. The Assembly Secretariat is yet to get any communication from the Raj Nivas regarding the appointment of pro-tem Speaker,” a source in AINRC told The Hindu. The party, according to the source, was aiming to complete the swearing-in and Cabinet formation next week, after the discharge of Chief Minister N. Rangasamy, who is recovering from COVID-19 at a hospital in Chennai.
