Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Northeast Region Development and Secunderabad MP G. Kishan Reddy said the TRS government had set a new “dubious” record of having an Assembly session without the Governor’s address which has never been done anywhere across the country despite political differences.
“This is political bankruptcy at its worst. The TRS has a history of insulting the Governors. Its MLAs tried to physically stop the then Governor from reading the speech and pull him off the pedestal during the agitation for the separate State,” he charged on Monday.
The Minister pointed out that when the TRS MPs had protested in the Parliament obstructing the Speaker in the Lok Sabha and chairman in Rajya Sabha, they were not suspended but the alacrity with which the three BJP MLAs have been “suspended” from the Assembly showed that there was a “definite plan” behind this.
