YSRCP Boycotts Session

The YSRCP has decided to boycott the rest of the winter session of the Andhra Pradesh assembly to protest against the suspension of its member R.K. Roja for one year. Leader of Opposition Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy said since no discussion was being held on the call money racket and Roja was suspended in violation of rules, his party has decided to boycott the session. After announcing this in the house, he along with the party legislators walked out. In the absence of lone opposition party, the house continued its proceedings.

As soon as the house met for the day, Jagan raised the issue of Roja's suspension and demanded that it be revoked. Legislative Affairs Minister Y. Ramakrishnudu, however, ruled out revoking the suspension. He said the discussion on call money was already completed.
