Extend
Assembly session for 30 days, demands YSRCP MLAs
Hyderabad,
September 9, 2012: YSR Congress party MLAs today demanded that the Assembly
sessions, to begin from 17 September, should be extended to 30 days to discuss
various burning issues people are facing now.
MLAs
Dharmana Krishna Das, A. Amarnath Reddy, G.Srikanth Reddy in a joint press
conference held at YSR Congress Party central office here accused Kiran Kumar
Reddy led Congress government of running away from discussing people’s
problems.
Holding the
long overdue Assembly session for just 5 days clearly shows how serious and
committed the government is in finding solution to various problems being faced
by the people now, averred Krishna Das.
The
government is scared of discussion on important public issues in the Assembly,
that’s why it convened a session that will last for only 5 days to fulfill
statutory obligation and wash its hands off, said Krishna Das.
Speaking on
proposed padayatra of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, Krishnadas pointed out it
cannot be compared with that of Dr.YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s historic padayatra. He
suspected the very motive behind Naidu’s padayatra as it was not intended for
public good, unlike YSR’s.
‘Naidu
neither has dedication nor commitment towards people’s problems. Sitting in the
party office he always talks about how is waging a battle on behalf of people
and making false promises’ remarked Krishna Das.
Rajampet
MLA A.Amarnath Reddy condemned the proposed 5 day Assembly session convened by
the government. He questioned as how this session is going to help discussing
umpteen issues on hand in a span of three days as the house will sit only for
three days due to public holidays coming in between.
Referring
to the false propaganda of YSRCP’s possible merger with Congress, he questioned
the very need of it. ‘Where is the need of merger with Congress when our party
is going great guns all the way. It was proved in the recently held by-polls.
Further,
the survey’s too clearly stated that YSRCP is going to sweep the mandate in
2014 general elections. In the light of these facts, I wonder how anyone can
say that we merge our party with Congress. This is nothing but a false propaganda
undertaken by parties (read as Congress and TDP) whose very survival is under
threat,’ said Amarnath Reddy.
He asked
Chandrababu Naidu as why he met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently while he
was in Delhi, leaving behind his party MPs and others. He suspected that
Chandrababu Naidu on one day might merge his party with Congress.
Rayachoti
MLA G. Srikanth Reddy accused the government of shying away from discussing key
public issues. Pointing out the escapist attitude of the government, he
observed that ‘Kiran Kumar Reddy government is always looking for escape routes
to avoid and evade discussion on problems faced by the people.So scared
of the belligerent ministers chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy has no guts even
to hold regular cabinet meetings. The government has completely become defunct.
Now, it found the same escape route by convening a shortest Assembly session to
avoid facing the wrath of public representatives’.
Shedding
its responsibility as the main opposition
the TDP is playing second fiddle to Congress government. Chandrababu Naidu
turns as the chief advisor of chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy. That’s the
reason the present government is bold enough in taking unpopular decisions like
increasing RTC charges, power charges etc, avers Srikanth Reddy.
Stoutly
denying the rumors of a merger with Congress party, Srikanth Reddy said that
these are totally baseless and far away from truth. ‘Our party under the
leadership of YS Jaganmohan Reddy has been making deep inroads into the hearts
and homes of people of the state.
The rising
popularity of Jagan, despite of his incarceration, set alarm bells among our
rivals. Having found that they are no match to Jagan in gaining public support
are indulging in this heinous and false propaganda to mar YSR Congress party’s
growth in the state. However, people are not that innocent to believe their
gimmicks’, said Reddy.
