CM Naidu Asks MLAs, MLCs To Articulate Their Views In House

Amaravati: Maintaining that the legislators should have awareness on the budget session of the State Legislature, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu told the MLAs and MLCs to share their views with their colleagues on the floor of the House during the session.

Naidu advised the MLAs and MLCs to study in detail all the bills being brought in and the policies being adopted by the State government. Addressing a workshop chaired by Assembly Speaker Ch Ayyanna Patrudu, organised to benefit first-time MLAs, the Chief Minister said that the MLAs too will be made partners in public governance.

"Since people have reposed immense faith and have a lot of hopes on all of us we should stand by them and discuss in detail on the floor of the House the problems being faced by them. The House should be a platform for meaningful debates," Naidu told the legislators. Recalling that he got elected to the Assembly for the first time in 1978 and became a minister in 1980, Naidu said that he got elected to the House for nine consecutive terms and became the Chief Minister for four terms.

"The success in a row depends totally on our performance and the structure of the party. In the recent elections, the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP contested together and many new faces have entered the Assembly, including 61 from the TDP, 15 from the Jana Sena, four each from the BJP and the YSRCP. At least 30 MLAs got elected to the House for the second term," he said.
