A Black Day In Democracy

Hyderabad: Chandrababu who had been bluffing everyone about special category status for 2.5 years, had deceived people of the state by welcoming special package announced by the centre, remarked woman MLAs of YSRCP. They slammed the way they had been pushed away from the assembly for asking for a discussion in the house on the matter of public interest. They spoke to the media at the assembly’s media point to condemn the oppression of the state’s rights by Chandrababu.

The matter of special status sends shivers into Babu’s spine: Giddi Eshwari

“The matter of special category status sends shivers into Chandrababu’s spine. He has mortgaged the status to the centre out of fear for having to face inquiry on Cash for Vote case”, commented YSRCP MLA Giddi Eshwari. She remarked it was ridiculous for the centre to announce special package in place of special status and added that special package would benefit none other than Chandrababu’s Government. She acclaimed YS Jagan as the only leader who had fought for the cause with no care for his life. She confided that YSRCP would fight until the status was achieved.

Babu has double entendre: Uppuleti Kalpana

YSRCP MLA Uppuleti Kalpana stated that it was atrocious of the Government to pose hindrances to the discussion on special category status in the assembly. She commented that Chandrababu had always had double entendre and partiality to support his degraded politics. She slammed Chandrababu for bringing marshals into the assembly as conspired earlier. He called it undemocratic for the marshals to inhibit them from taking the voice of the people to the speaker. She mentioned that it was shameful of Chandrababu to first proclaim that special category status was to be sanctioned for 15 years and later to state the status was not any wonder drug and welcome special package instead. Kalpana remarked that the union and the state Governments had deceived the people of AP.

AP at loss due to bifurcation: Gowru Charitha Reddy

“AP is already at loss due to the irregular bifurcation of the united state. To compensate the loss the PM and the opposition parties of that time announced that special category status would be sanctioned to AP. But after getting into power the ruling parties went back on their word. We demand that all the promises mentioned in the reorganization act are realised. Otherwise, the union and the state Governments will have to face the fury of the people of AP”, spoke YSRCP MLA Gowru Charitha Reddy.

Anti-democratic rule: Kalavathi

“We have staged protest in a democratic and peaceful fashion at the speaker’s podium. The ruling party has deliberately led the assembly marshals to attack us according to a premeditated plan”, complained YSRCP MLA Kalavathi. Mentioning that YSRCP had never behaved against democracy, she blamed TDP for oppressing the rights of the opposition YSRCP. Kalavathi said it was atrocious of the marshals to ill-treat the party’s MLAs irrespective of their gender. She called the day a dark day in the democracy. She questioned the speaker how justified was it to not provide access of microphone to the leader of opposition even for half minute. She slammed the speaker for showing favouritism, dishonouring his position.

Assault as well as accusation directed to us: Pushpa Srivani

MLA Pushpa Srivani complained that they had to unjustly face the assault by assembly marshals as well as accusation from ruling TDP. She explained that they were only trying to bring pressure on the state Government to realise the hopes of the people of AP but not troubling anybody. She specified that special category status was the right of 5 crore people of AP and condemned assembly marshals’ ill-treating YSRCP MLAs.
