The Second Assembly of Pondicherry Deuxième Assemblée de Pondichéry (29 August 1964 – 19 September 1968)[1]: 967 succeeded the First Assembly of Pondicherry and was constituted after the victory of Indian National Congress (INC) and allies in the 1964 assembly election held on 23 August 1964.[2] Venkatasubba Reddiar assumed office as 2nd Pondicherry. These were the first Legislative Assembly elections after the formation of the new Union Territory.[3]
Background
The Pondicherry Representative Assembly was converted into the Legislative Assembly of Pondicherry on 1 July 1963 as per Section 54(3) of The Union Territories Act, 1963[4] and its members were deemed to have been elected to the First Assembly.[1]: 966 All the 30 members of this assembly were elected through direct suffrage, under the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963.[5][6] However, its term was fixed to expire on 24 August 1964. This necessitated the 1964 assembly election to constitute the Second Assembly of Pondicherry.
