Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Friday accused the previous AINRC government of failure to strengthen the fiscal position of the union territory. Due to this a majority of public sector undertakings were reeling under financial losses, he told the assembly.

“The undertakings had suffered loss to the extent of Rs 596 crores and we have to take effective steps to stabilise them and several of the cooperative undertakings here,” he said.

The Chief Minister was responding to a contention of AIADMK (Amma) MLA A Anbalagan, who said the government should have presented a full-fledged budget instead of going in for interim allocation of funds through vote on account.
