Puducherry: Five days after it swept to power in alliance with DMK, the Congress is yet to elect its Legislature party leader in Puducherry and there is a virtual delay in formation of the new ministry here.
AICC General Secretary V Narayanasamy is now in Delhi holding parleys with the party high command, PCC Vice-President A Gandhiraj said.
He also said senior Congress leaders, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mukul Wasnik, will arrive here on Tuesday to hold parleys with the elected legislators of Congress to reach a consensus on the CLP leader.
In the May 16 Assembly polls, Congress won 15 seats, while DMK two as the combine unseated the ruling AINRC which ended with eight seats in the 30-member Assembly.
Congress thus avenged its defeat in the 2011 elections at the hands of AINRC founder N Rangasamy who broke away from the national party to form his outfit.
