(Puducherry assembly before the exit of 5 Congress MLAs)
The setback comes a day before Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit the Union Territory.
Just yesterday, senior leader and Yanam MLA Malladi Krishna Rao had resigned weeks after former PWD Minister A Namassivayam and ETheeppainjan on January 25.
Another Congress leader N Dhanavelu was disqualified in July last year for alleged anti-party activities.
Sources say Chief Minister Narayanasamy will have no option but to resign despite the support of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's three MLAs.
