As the people aspired for a popular government, the Indian Parliament enacted The Union Territories Act, 1963[7] that came into force on 1 July 1963, and the pattern of government prevailing in the rest of the country was introduced in this territory. The Pondicherry Representative Assembly was converted into the Legislative Assembly of Pondicherry on 1 July 1963 as per Section 54(3) of The Union Territories Act, 1963 and its members were deemed to have been elected to the Assembly.[8]: 966  Thus, the MLAs of Yanam to the First Legislvative Assembly (1963–1964) were Smt.Kamichetty Savithri and Shri Kamichetty Sri Parassourama Varaprassada Rao Naidu.
