The Puducherry cabinet is set to expand with the induction of three new ministers: Rajavelu and Sivakolunthu from AINRC, and Rajasekaran from BJP. Following approval from the central government, the swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for June 17. This expansion follows the victory of the N. Rangasamy-led NDA alliance in the assembly elections. Earlier, CM Rangasamy took office on May 13 along with two other ministers after prolonged discussions on cabinet seat-sharing between the alliance partners. https://www.dinamani.com/all-editions/edition-villupuram/puducherry/2026/Jun/09/three-new-ministers-in-the-puducherry-cabinet #creator program
