Hyderabad, Sept 9: The YSR Congress party MLAs on Sunday demanded
that the Assembly sessions, scheduled 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 reports
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," he said.
Further,
he said that the surveys 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. 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," he said.
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," he said.
"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.
