Challenging the State Assembly to reverse the action against three members of YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said he would not hesitate to move without confidence motion against the speaker, if it was conducted in a one-sided way of gagging the voice of the main opposition party.
"It may be the first time in the history of parliamentary democracy, opposition leaders denied the microphone to express protest, and state the reasons for his party to leave. Such conduct is not in the best interest of the President and the suspension of two MLAs and privileges motion moved against another MLA should be immediately withdrawn," reports said after the House adjourned.
In the event that the President does not consider the demands of the opposition, which is the voice of the people, we will not hesitate to move a no confidence motion, but we expect that the situation will not come so far, and I hope that the proceedings will be conducted in accordance with these rules. As we have 40% share of voice, time should be allocated in the same proportion, if not more, because we are the only opposition party in the House.
The house is run as a party, and as a leader of the opposition, when I talked about budget allocation, interrupt rate was very high and in 2.5 hours I talked more than 1.06 minutes took a break and switch off the microphone. The ruling party was given wrong information about this number, but our party leaders to monitor data, report management, minute by minute.
The rule book clearly says that six days allocated for debate on budget and eight days for voting on demands for grants, but TDP drastically reduced the budget debate and is hell-bent on throttling the voice of opposition, he said.
"Despite serious interruption and on many occasions on mute, my plea to the President, I want to express protest fell on deaf ears, and it is a scar on democratic institutions. During his speech, I'm not deviate from the subject and only talked about issues of public interest include scanty rations on loan waivers and Mike left. though I asked the President to let me conclude my budget speech, he did not bring, and it's not fair on his side.
For sycophants treasury benches, the microphone was given to talk about non-issues, which include criticizing YSR. If this is the way in which the proceedings are conducted, we will be forced to take the extreme step of moving the motion against the speaker, "he said.
Broadcasting rights are also given TDP government to its friendly media that reflects only the prospect of the ruling party and the Treasury bench play to the gallery, which is channel blows it.
TDP government is setting a bad precedent in gagging the voice of opposition. It does not allow the main opposition to vent their feelings in a house on one side and television broadcasts only releases, speeches and remarks that are in its favor. This trend should be changed and TDP should learn how to respect the opposition and avoid a bragging and bashing the opposition, he said.
