Puducherry Makkal Congress

Puducherry Makkal Congress (Pondicherry Popular Congress) was a political party in the Indian union territory Puducherry. PMC was formed as a splinter group of Tamil Maanila Congress. The leader of PMC was P. Kannan. In the assembly elections of Pondicherry in 2001 PMC won four seat (out of 30). Until 2001 PMC supported the National Democratic Alliance, but then it started to support Indian National Congress. In August 2002 PMC merged with Congress.

However, P. Kannan left Congress after that Democratic Progressive Alliance had allotted the Pondicherry seat till Pattali Makkal Katchi ahead of the 2004 Lok Sabha elections.

As of 2005, P.Kannan had formed a new party, Puducherry Munnetra Congress.
