==Dissolution==
However, the government was not stable as the ruling party was ridden with personal strifes and factions. Finally, the [[Government of India]] had to intervene finally by dissolving the Assembly following the instability caused by the change of party affiliation of members. Then, the [[List of lieutenant governors of Puducherry|Chief Commissioner]] took over the administration in October 1958. Later, after nine months, second general elections were held to the Pondicherry Representative Assembly in [[1955 Pondicherry Representative Assembly election|1959]].<ref>{{cite news |last= K.
