"We formed the government with the support of DMK and independent MLAs. After that, we faced various elections. We have won all the by-elections. It is clear that people of Puducherry trust us."
"The Speaker's ruling is incorrect. BJP government at the Centre, NR Congress and AIADMK have succeeded in dislodging our government by using voting power used by 3 nominated members. This is murder of democracy. The people of Puducherry and this country will teach them a lesson," he said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister V Narayanasamy has submitted resignation to the Lieutenant Governor after losing majority in the Assembly.
