The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has resolved to boycott the remaining three days of the Assembly session in protest against the denial of an opportunity to put across their views on former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s arrest and the partiality allegedly shown by Speaker Thammineni Seetharam in conducting the legislative business.
TDP State president and Tekkali MLA K. Atchannaidu announced this in a press conference on September 22.
He said the TDP was prepared to discuss the skill development scam if the government had the courage to call for a five-day exclusive session, and that his party MLAs would try to persuade Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, who had vowed not to attend the Assembly sessions, to relent in order to expose the manner in which criminal charges were framed against him.
