Oppression in the Assembly

• Prominence given to repress the voice of the opposition
• Leader of opposition YS Jagan’s speech hindered at every step
• Microphone offered only to the ruling party

 Hyderabad: The Government is looking for various ways to sidetrack important issues in the assembly. As part of it, the Government took up discussion on conservation of water resources and kept dragging it. As this was an important issue for the humankind, YSRCP tried to participate in it but it was suppressed there too.

While speaking on behalf of the Government on account of World Water Day, CM Chandrababu Naidu mentioned ways to save water. During this he cited the attempts of the Government in this direction and informed about the projects that were being taken up. Later YSRCP President and leader of opposition YS Jagan got to speak on behalf of the opposition. During his speech he started to reveal the reality regarding the irrigation projects. Immediately microphone’s access to him was withdrawn and the ruling party was allowed to speak again. Chandrababu was acclaimed for his wonderful speech, outstanding water conservation schemes and his rule as a whole. No objection was expressed against this.

Again the leader of opposition YS Jagan was allowed to speak. While speaking about the necessity of conserving water, he mentioned the irregularities committed regarding the projects. Again his microphone was disconnected. Same arguments were repeated. YS Jagan tried to reveal some facts again. The microphone was withdrawn right away and the members of the assembly were made to pledge about conservation of water. Then the house was adjourned to Saturday.
