Finally, Jagan Present In Assembly- Walk Out Immediately

The Budget Session of Andhra Pradesh Assembly has begun and former CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, along with his party legislators, reached the House. In contrary to the anticipation of huge fireworks between the ruling TDP coalition and the Opposition YCP, the party president and former CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, staged a walkout even as Governor S. Abdul Nazeer was addressing both the Houses.

The YCP legislators demanded that their party should be given Opposition status and that their leader be identified and the main Opposition leader in the Assembly. They also criticized the TDP coalition government for neglecting people’s problems like Group-II exams fiasco.

Meanwhile, there is buzz that the YCP chief has decided to attend the Assembly today only to avoid disqualification as MLA, if he failed to attend the Assembly for 60 days successively. With Speaker Ayyana Patrudu and Deputy Speaker K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju recently making it clear that there is the rule of disqualification if any MLA fails to attend the Assembly 60 days in a row, Jagan and his party MLAs have decided to reach the Assembly this morning. They had decided to sign in the attendance register and then quit the Assembly raising slogans that law and order has deteriorated in the state and that the former CM was not being provided adequate security.

Accordingly, they signed in the register and appeared in the Opposition benches during the Governor’s address but soon made their way out raising slogans that the state government was not providing their leader more security, in the wake of threat to this life.
