The All India N.R. Congress (abbr. AINRC)[1] is a regional political party formed by the Chief Minister of Puducherry, N. Rangaswamy in the Indian union territory of Puducherry.[2] He announced the party formation on 7 February 2011 in the party's head office in Pondicherry as a breakaway from the Indian National Congress. It fought the 2011 elections by allying with AIADMK and won the majority.[3] Since 2014, it is part of the National Democratic Alliance led by the BJP.[4] NDA alliance won the majority in the 2021 elections and is currently the ruling party of the union territory.[5]
