Puducherry, Feb 9 (Agency) Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Tuesday said that a decision on the proposal put forth by NR Congress President and leader of the opposition N Rangaswamy to boycott the elections till statehood is conferred on Puducherry could be taken only after consultation with AICC.
Talking to news persons here, Mr Narayanasamy said a decision on the subject could not be taken here and added that on Wednesday, he will be meeting the President in New Delhi for recall of Lt Governor Kiran Bedi and later the statehood issue will be discussed with the Congress party high command. Congress do not have any second opinion on the statehood issue, he added.
