N Rangasamy assumed office as Puducherry Chief Minister for a record fifth term after leading the AINRC-NDA alliance to victory. He pledged development-focused governance and welfare schemes, marking the continuation of his long political career spanning over two decades in the Union Territory
A stream of volunteers of the Rangasamy-led AINRC and other organisations, legislators and officials of the Puducherry government greeted the chief minister at his residence in neighbouring Thelarshpet.
Known to be a simple, soft-spoken and accessible leader, Rangasamy is famous for driving around in a two-wheeler across the streets of Puducherry, even as a CM.
