The Communist Party of India has promised to strive to obtain Statehood for the Union Territory after the April 6 Assembly election. The party manifesto, released here on Wednesday, stated that obtaining Statehood for Puducherry was the only solution for the problems confronted by the Union Territory.

Citing the recent developments where the elected government was engaged in a tug of war with the Centre and previous Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi, the party said getting Statehood for the Union Territory was the only long-term solution. The party manifesto promised to press for waiver of legacy loan taken by the successive governments.More Related News
