AINRC leader and Puducherry Chief Minister N. Rangasamy on Friday filed his nomination papers for the May 16 Assembly polls seeking re-election from Indira Nagar constituency.
He was elected in the 2011 Assembly polls simultaneously from Indira nagar and Kadirkamam constituencies.
However, he vacated the Indira Nagar seat and retained Kadirkamam.
AINRC stormed to power in 2011 Assembly polls in alliance with AIADMK months after it was founded by Mr. Rangasamy, who broke away from Congress.
But the alliance did not last long as Mr. Rangasamy ditched the AIADMK and formed the ministry with the outside support of the lone Independent member.
AINRC is contesting this time without any alliance.
