After the Congress government collapsed in Puducherry, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal to impose the president’s rule. Earlier this week, Chief Minister Narayanasamy resigned before a credible vote and the Congress-led government in the central region collapsed. The proposal was approved at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said after the meeting Narayanasamy-led government resigned after some ruling MLAs from Puducherry had split from the party. After the resignation of the chief minister, no one claimed that the government would form. After that, the Lieutenant Governor recommended the dissolution of the Assembly at Puducherry.
In Puducherry, CM has resigned and no one has claimed that the government will form and therefore LG has recommended the suspension of the 14th Assembly. Now our approval will be sent to the President. After his approval, the assembly will be dissolved: Union Minister Prakash Javadekar pic.twitter.com/xKtVimaeW4

He informed that the dates for the assembly elections in Puducherry are expected to be announced in the near future and that the Model Code of Conduct will be implemented thereafter.
