Jagan Threatens Assembly Speaker
(AW: Vamshi)
Andhra Pradesh opposition leader YS Jagan has threatened Assembly speaker Kodela Sivaprasad Rao of moving no
confidence motion against him for being biased in the House. Jagan after
the Assembly session, held a press meet at Assembly committee hall and
also blamed electronic media for being supportive to the government and
not showing the opposition party's efforts in the House.
“Speaker
Kodela is indirectly supporting TDP government and accordingly our voice
in the house is being reduced. Also suspending our MLAs is unfair and
we demand Speaker to immediately lift the suspension and also take back
the notice given to one more MLA,” said Jagan giving warning to the
Kodela. Jagan also lashed out at the TDP leaders who are constantly
blaming him of taking about two hours of time while debating on AP
budget. “I started my speech at 11:08 AM and ended it at 1:40 PM. I
spoke for about two and half hours but I was interrupted by TDP leaders
17 times which wasted 106 minutes of my time. I did not deviate from the
subject and what promises TDP made before elections and how many funds
were allocated to respective schemes and ministry were the highlights of
the debate. Speaker Kodela disconnected by mike and allowed TDP leaders
to reply when it was my turn, probably nowhere in the country this
would happen,” added Jagan.
While the
TDP has hit back at Jagan and his party in this regards. Somebody was
writing technical details of AP budget outside the house and Jagan is
just reading out those papers. His arguments don't have credibility and
it shows his lack of experience. Coming to the time issue, Jagan spoke
for about one hour and 50 minutes, probably no opposition leader will be
given such an opportunity and Speaker Kodela gave ample of time for
YSRCP. Still, Jagan is confined to accuse the government, said a TDP
leader.
