Dismiss the MLAs who crossed over to TDP- YS Jagan appealed to President

YSR Congress Party chief, AP's Leader of Opposition YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday appealed to the President to dismiss the MLAs who crossed over to TDP.

In a five-page letter written to President Ramnath Kovind, YS Jagan explained in detail the allurements offered by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to attract MLAs from YSRCP. He said the state was neck-deep in debt as the CM borrowed loans amounting to Rs1.10 lakh crore in the last 41 months. Stating that the ruling party with its money bags, was tempting MLAs to defect, the Opposition Leader said those in government are resorting to large scale corruption to fund the ruling party's undemocratic horse- trading.

Despite our repeated appeals, the Speaker of the Assembly failed to take action against the errant and defector-MLAs, YS Jagan said and urged the President to intervene to save democratic values in AP.

In view of the corruption and undemocratic way of administration in the state, the Opposition Leader explained, his party decided not to attend the Assembly session scheduled to begin in November second week.

YSRCP Demands Disqualification Of Turncoat MLAs

The Opposition YSRCP MLAs have decided to boycott the Assembly Sessions, beginning November 10 over the Speaker's failure to disqualify 20 MLAs of YSRCP, who defected to the TDP without resigning their posts. As many as four of them are serving as ministers in the Government even while continuing as the Opposition MLAs.

YSR Congress Legislature Party, which met on Thursday,has said that it would attend the assembly sessions only if the 21 turncoat MLAs are disqualified and four ministers removed. The party said the State Government has thrown all democratic norms and legislative conventions to winds by engineering defections. As many as 21 MLAs were lured into the ruling party in the presence of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and at his official residence. Yet, all these MLAs are still being shown as YSRCP MLAs and are seated along with the Opposition MLAs.

"This is travesty of democracy and the Speaker is deliberately deferring the decision on the fate of the defectors," said senior party leader and MLA Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy. "We can't sit (in the Assembly) with our heads bowed when a mockery is being made of democracy. Hence, we have decided to boycott the Assembly session, that is expected to begin on November 10," he said.

"A latest bulletin issued by the Assembly said the YSRC has 66 MLAs. Even four ministers were listed as members of YSRC. Are we part of a coalition government?" Ramachandra Reddy wondered.

The party felt that the Assembly sessions should have been held in August, but the Government is holding the sessions in November to offset the prestigious Padayatra of YS Jagan from November 6.

The party also said that the ruling party has been using the Assembly sessions only to vilify YS Jagan and attack the Opposition party. The TDP has no faith in legislative decorum and democracy. "During the last three years, the assembly was in session for just 80 days. while during the reign of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the assembly was in session for over 150 days," Peddireddy pointed out. He said the party has exhausted all options to make the speaker see reason and has hence decided to boycott the assembly session.

Issues regarding plight of the farmers and government's failure in waiving farm loans were discussed at the meeting.

The padayatra will begin at Idupulapaya and conclude at Ichapuram during which YS Jagan will interact with people to understand their grievances against the government and its policies. At the conclusion of the padayatra, he will begin a bus yatra to cover the remaining 58 assembly constituencies and meet the people.

Employment Guarantee Scheme Funds Misused In AP

The prestigious Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme meant to provide livelihoods to the poor in the villages was not under implementation  in true spirit in Andhra Pradesh as the funds were diverted to other sectors. 

Ever since Chandrababu Naidu assumed CM office, government diverted the funds for the last three years. Virtually, the scheme was disbanded in the whole Andhra Pradesh.  The plights of the poor intensified and they faced similar problems encountered before 2004 in Chandrababu rule in United Andhra Pradesh.  

During farmer Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy's regime, all migrants returned to their native places as the employment guarantee programme was enforced in true spirit.  The employment act mandated every enrolled worker should be provided job within 15 days. If failed,  the concerned authority should be punished. The TDP leaders also misused the scheme by replacing man power with machines.
