PUDUCHERRY: The legislative assembly of the Union territory of
Puducherry will convene at 9.30am on June 3. Lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi has fixed the same date for the election of the
speaker
of the legislative assembly, said secretary (legislative assembly) A Vincent Rayar. The legislative assembly secretariat has issued a notice regarding filing of nominations to all the members of the legislative assembly.
Election of the speaker was necessitated after the speaker V Vaithilingam resigned the post to contest the
Lok Sabha
polls from Union territory on a Congress ticket. He defeated the rival candidate of the All India NR Congress (AINRC) K Narayanasamy by 1.97 lakh votes. Deputy speaker V P Sivakolunthu is the officiating speaker now.
AIADMK legislative party leader A Anbalagan took exception to holding the election of the speaker in a short notice. He claimed that the MLAs must be intimated 14 days prior to holding of an election of the speaker. The elected members must be given adequate time to file nomination for the post of the speaker and mobilize support for them, he said.
