CM N Rangasamy's charisma, divided opposition give NDA a second tenure in Puducherry

NDA retained power in Puducherry, securing 18 seats, largely due to AINRC chief N Rangasamy's charisma and welfare schemes. A fragmented opposition, marred by internal friction and seat-sharing confusion between Congress and DMK, failed to present a united front. Rangasamy is set for a record fifth term as Chief Minister.
