Taking serious objections over the attitude of Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy for not allowing Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka and others members to raise a ‘point of order’ on the first day of Budget session, and suspending opposition members till the end of the present sessions, the Congress party has decided to lodge a complaint with Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Tuesday. Similarly, the party would organise silent protests wearing black badges before the statues of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar in all mandal headquarters.
Disclosing these details at press conference along with Mr. Vikramarka and others on Monday, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy said that never did any Speaker behave like this, and it is not acceptable, he said.
“On the first day of the Budget session, the House was not run properly. The Governor speech was totally removed. On the day of introduction of Budget, never were members suspended in the past. Protest is a right in democracy. Suspending members for entire session is not right. Rights of members were suppressed. Speaker is taking unilateral decision. Our CLP leader tried get the attention of Speaker for 40 minutes but of no use. Governor is the custodian of Constitution. We request her to take corrective measures,” said Mr. Revanth Reddy.
