APCC president YS Sharmila Reddy has demanded that her brother and YCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy, who did not go to the assembly, resign from the post of MLA. She also said that all the YSRCP MLAs who did not go to the assembly should resign from their posts.
She lamented that Jagan’s post on social media that he will enter the assembly only if he is given the opposition status is a proof of ignorance. She deplored that such cowardice, helplessness and arrogance are not seen or heard anywhere.
She said mocking democracy by not going to the assembly was described as bankruptcy. She reminded that MLA means Member of Legislative Assembly and not Member of Media Assembly. She wondered whether he won as an MLA because he was the voice of the people in the legislatures or because he beat his own drum in front of the media?
Sharmila said that a leader who says that he will not go to the assembly is not only not eligible for the status of opposition, but also for the status of an MLA. She made it clear that a child who does not go to school will be sent home with a transfer certificate. Likewise, she said that an employee who does not go to the office will be fired immediately.
She made it clear that those who disrespected the people’s decision and insulted the honor assembly by not going to the assembly, are not eligible to be MLAs. Sharmila said in a tweet that when if anyone is not interested in going to the Assembly as an MLA, let them go to the forests of Africa and the ice of Antarctica.
Sharmila tweeted stating that while the ruling party was releasing white papers in the full house, people did not elect MLAs to sit in Tadepalli Palace and hold media meetings. When the government is saying that Jagan Reddy has turned the state into a pile of debt during his five years of corrupt and extortion rule, she asked is it now his responsibility to respond and answer such accusations from the floor of the assembly?
She also questioned if the opposition party has no responsibility of questioning the ruling party if some injustice is done to the people?
