Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu called upon the party MLAs to attend the Assembly session beginning on November 10 without fail and behave responsibly by involving in meaningful debate on issues of public importance, notwithstanding the absence of the YSR Congress Party MLAs.
“The TDP MLAs should not be complacent because their counterparts in the YSRCP are boycotting the session. They should raise people’s issues that merit attention and find solutions,” he said at the Telugu Desam Legislature Party (TDLP) meeting at the Assembly Committee Hall on Thursday.
Mr. Naidu suggested to the Ministers to come to the House with full information to be able to reply to questions raised by the members, and pointed out that the party’s endeavour should be to win all 175 Assembly seats in 2019.
Mr. Naidu said the ruling party should be undeterred by the baseless criticism launched by the YSRCP, which stooped so low that it attributed motives behind the leakage of rainwater in the Assembly building.
“People are satisfied with our performance, but not the YSRCP, which tried its best to derive political mileage out of every trivial issue,” Mr. Naidu observed, and objected to casting of aspersions on Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao in the MLAs’ disqualification issue.
Paradise Papers
Mr. Naidu said the YSRCP’s challenge to substantiate the charges against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy with regard to the Paradise Papers issue sounded funny as it was an independent investigation that exposed the wrongdoings of economic offenders around the world.
The onus of proving the charges wrong was on Mr. Jagan, the Chief Minister affirmed.
