Babu’s Bias Against The Opposition

Hyderabad: YSRCP MLAs criticized Chandrababu Naidu for conspiring to not allocate funds to their constituencies. They slammed him for showing favouritism towards ruling party MLAs in spite of being in a position to equally treat all the MLAs when it came to allotting funds. They demanded Babu to allot them funds, at least after watching and learning from the Chief Ministers of the neighbouring states.

Budda Rajasekhar Reddy (MLA of Srisailam)

YSRCP MLA Budda Rajasekhar Reddy condemned the bias shown by the Government. He remarked that the assembly had the responsibility of protecting the rights of its members irrespective of the party they came from and which party was in power. He stated that a person had to work hard to win as an MLA from a constituency and added that the people of that constituency would keep their hopes high for that person. He complained that the Government had not been allotting funds to the constituencies of YSRCP MLAs. He expressed his agony saying that they were in a helpless situation due to lack of funds, in spite of being responsible for 3-4 lakhs of people as their representative.

Rajasekhar Reddy slammed the obstruction posed by TDP MLAs while YSRCP MLAs spoke in the assembly. He complained that the Government always laid concentration on how to mentally trouble the opposition party’s MLAs by not sanctioning them the funds and how to lure them. He informed that in the neighbouring state Telangana, each MLA were being given Rs.3 crore funds. The Chief Minister had the authority to give salaries as well as funds. But he expressed that it was atrocious to snatch one’s funds to feed others. He opined  that a law should be made so that the rights of the members of the house were protected irrespective of the party forming the Government.

Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy (MLA of Punganuru)

MLA Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy slammed creating rights to the TDP leaders who had lost elections, by calling them ‘in-charges’ and sanctioning funds to them. He specified that nobody had cancelled the MLAs’ funds earlier and criticized Chandrababu for doing it now.  He reminded that CM KCR of the neighbouring state Telangana was sanctioning Rs.3 crore funds for MLAs. He requested the Government to note this and sanction Rs.3 crore to the MLAs of AP too.

Anil Kumar Yadav (MLA of Nellore Rural)

MLA Anil Kumar Yadav complained that the Government’s boasting about building 13,000 toilets as part of Swacch Bharat was all false. He mentioned that this work was incomplete in Nellore corporation area where 700 students were present. He remarked that it was shameful for the schools in the ward adopted by the municipality minister to not have restrooms.

He suggested Chandrababu who boasted about building Hyderabad, having elected as MLA 7 times and having become the Chief Minister thrice o take care of his constituency. Having seen Chandrababu mentioning his seniority a number of times, their teams had visited and studied 60 schools in his constituency, Anil Kumar informed. He described that the situation in those schools was too bad. None of the 60 schools had bathrooms or drinking water, he stated. He added that the schools did also not have main roads and compound walls. He ridiculed Lokesh who was welcoming donors by saying that he had to take care of the CM’s constituency first. Anil Kumar Yadav suggested Chandrababu that he first had to provide good quality education and do justice to the people of his constituency Kuppam who had elected him as MLA 7 times made him the CM thrice.
