He further expressed his belief that Annan Vaidyalingam’s victory would mark the initiation of the expulsion of what he referred to as “fascists” perpetuating a coalition government through coercion and intimidation in Puducherry.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Indian National Congress candidate V. Vaithilingam emerged victorious, securing the solitary seat in the Puducherry Parliamentary Constituency.
The upcoming Lok Sabha elections, spanning 543 seats across the nation, will be conducted in seven phases commencing from April 19. Vote counting is scheduled for June 4.
