5-Year Recap (2021–2026)
AI GeneratedThe Ozhukarai constituency in Puducherry saw mixed progress between 2021-2026. Key developments included becoming a Smart City in 2022, ₹2,700 crore for road projects (2024), 1,500 affordable homes under PMAY (2024), and JIPMER hospital expansion (2025). However, civic issues like water shortages and flooding persisted, alongside corruption allegations against the ruling AINRC-BJP alliance. The sitting MLA, M. Sivasankar (Independent), won narrowly in 2021 but faces challenges from AINRC, NTK, and INC candidates in 2026. While infrastructure received major investments, statehood demands remain unfulfilled and local governance issues continue.
