AP being pushed into deep crisis, say TDP MLAs

Vijayawada The TDP MLAs on Friday made it clear that realising the issues mentioned in the State Reorganisation Act is totally dependent on the State Government.

The party MLAs, who were earlier suspended from the Assembly, told media persons that the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues visited New Delhi several times in the past three-and-half years while Minister for Finance Buggana Rajendranath, is permanently staying in the national capital. But they could not raise the matter before the Union Government, the MLA alleged.

In fact, it is the YSRCP which demanded steel plant for Kadapa but not even a single representation has been submitted to the Centre on this, they pointed out. The State Government has miserably failed to achieve the issues mentioned in the Reorganisation Act and when the TDP pointed this out on the floor of the House, the ruling party is resorting to counter attacks, they said.

The State is now witnessing a situation wherein even Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, could not get even a single industry to his home district, Kadapa, but the ruling party shamelessly initiated a debate in the Assembly on industrialisation in the State, they maintained.

"Except wasting the valuable time of the House, what is the use of such debates," they asked.

They alleged that the ruling YSRCP cannot boast of achieving anything in the past three years. Except causing inconvenience to the people by imposing 'J' tax on them and subjecting the industrialists to wild threats, the YSRCP could not do anything for the State, they said.
