Telugu Desam Party has sought Andhra Pradesh Governor E S L Narasimhan’s intervention to get the State Assembly re-convened for taking up a no-confidence motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy government.
As the new Deputy Speaker Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka adjourned the House sine die soon after the process of election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker was completed this afternoon, a furious TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu led all his party MLAs to the Governor to lodge a protest over the former’s “undemocratic act”.
“As the principal Opposition, we have every right to move a no-confidence motion against the government which lost the people’s confidence. The government particularly lost the confidence of crisis-stricken farmers. Hence we gave a notice for moving the no-trust motion,” Mr. Chandrababu told the Governor.
The TDP Chief said the party had given a notice in the Assembly for no-confidence motion in accordance with the rules. “But in a most undemocratic manner, the Deputy Speaker adjourned the House sine die without even making a mention of our notice,” he complained and demanded that the House be re-convened to take up the no-trust motion.
“As the Constitutional head of the State, it is the Governor’s responsibility to set right the wrongs committed by the government. We wanted him to do that and the Governor promised to take the necessary required action,” the Leader of Opposition, emerging from the meeting with Governor, told reporters.
