Rakesh Master death topic comes up in AP Assembly

Late choreographer Rakesh Master’s death topic came up in Andhra Pradesh Assembly on Saturday. The unlikely topic of Rakesh Master’s death sprang up in Assembly, during the discussion on Excise Policy in the house.

Explaining about the mismanagement and corruption of YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s Government in manufacturing and sale of liquor, AP Excise Minister Kollu Ravindra remembered Rakesh Master.

“Spurious liquor was sold during YS Jagan’s tenure, taking a severe toll on public health. In fact a popular dance master Rakesh Master died after drinking Boom Boom beer,” said Excise Minister Kollu Ravindra.

“Rakesh Master even made a video before his death. He has clearly stated in the video that he is feeling uneasy and got a different feeling after drinking Boom Boom beer. He also rued that as he has no other option had to drink Boom Boom beer. Sadly, he lost his life after two days. Rakesh Master video even went viral,” explained Kollu Ravindra in the Assembly.

While the discussion on liquor in AP appears to be not ending anytime soon, it finally gave recognition to controversial but talented Tollywood choreographer Rakesh Master, whose life was cut short due to unfortunate circumstances.

Jagan cries foul of Naidu’s white papers

Former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday cried foul of chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s white papers being presented in the assembly. He said that Naidu is an expert in telling lies to the people. His lies are supported by the yellow media, he said.

Jagan interacted with the media persons at his camp office in Tadepalli on the day. He said that Naidu had told the people during the Assembly elections that the YSR Congress government borrowed Rs 14 lakh crore. However, in the Governor’s address to the State Assembly, the borrowings were brought down to Rs 10 lakh crore, he said. The actual borrowings were only Rs 6 lakh crore, he said. This was the reason why the chief minister is not ready to table the 2024-25 budget, he said.

Chandrababu Naidu was spreading lies to the people with all false reports in the white papers. He called the white papers as wrong papers. He said that the YSR Congress government followed the liquor policy of the previous TDP government. Out of the 20 beverages in the state, 14 were permitted by Chandrababu Naidu.

Jagan Mohan Reddy further said that the liquor brands were also permitted by Chandrababu Naidu government between 2017 and 2019. President Medal, Blue Delex liquor brands were permitted by Naidu on November 22, 2017. Governor Reserve, and four more brands were permitted on October 26, 2018. High Voltage, British Empire Super Strong Beer, British Empire Ultra Brand Beer were permitted on June 7, 2017, Jagan Mohan Reddy said.

He said that the number of liquor shops were brought down and the belt shops were closed, he said. He further added that the timings of the liquor shops were also reduced and fixed at 11 AM to 9 PM.

He also took strong exception to Chandrababu Naidu’s comments on Polavaram Project. He said that Naidu did not build the copper dams. There were two gaps each for the upper copper dam and lower copper dam. The spillway was also not completed, he said and added that the diaphragm wall was constructed without completing these works. As these works were not completed, the floods have caused damage to the diaphragm wall, he said.

In today’s assembly session, the Andhra Pradesh government passed two important bills: the Land Titling (Repeal) Act and the bill to rename Dr. YSR Health University.

The repeal of the Land Titling Act fulfills one of the TDP party’s election promises. Since taking office, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has been working to implement his campaign pledges and boost the state’s economic development. When the previous YSRCP government changed the name of the Health University, it faced opposition from various parties and legal departments. However, no changes were made until the TDP returned to power.

With the passing of this bill, the institution will once again be known as NTR Health University, reverting from its previous name, YSR Health University.

In the meanwhile, the state also lost heavily due to the misrule of the previous government for five years. He said that it was the responsibility of every member of this house to ensure that the state’s development is put on the track.

He further added that several works were initiated during those days. However, they were all withdrawn by the successive governments.

Investors have run away from the state in the last five years. There was a negative campaign run against the state government in the last five years.

AP Govt to release three white papers in Assembly

The Andhra Pradesh state government would release three more white papers in the State Assembly, which is scheduled to begin from July 22. It was initially said that chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu would release white paper on law and order on Thursday. However, he differed at the last minute and announced that the three white papers would be released on the floor of the Assembly.

The chief minister had so far released three white papers – sand policy, Polavaram and Amaravati. He plans to release three more white papers – law and order, finance and excise policy. As the Assembly is to be convened on July 22, the chief minister wanted to use that platform to release the white papers.

The government has been releasing the white papers to nail the previous YSR Congress government on development of the state. In the sand policy white paper, the government alleged that the previous YSR Congress government had robbed the natural resources. The YSR Congress leaders have exploited the natural resources in the state and looted the state.

He also blamed the YSR Congress government for neglecting the Polavaram project. He said that the neglect of the project had caused damages to the diaphragm wall of the project. The floods in 2020 have caused damage to the diaphragm wall of the project. The spillway channel was not completed and the balance of the upper earth cum rock fill dam was not completed. This had caused breaches to the diaphragm wall, the government said.

In the white paper on Amaravati, the government also blamed the previous YSR Congress for neglecting the project. The buildings were not touched for five years and the unfinished works were left to their fate. This had caused serious damage to the project, the government said and had spent Rs 36 crore on jungle clearance. The government had assigned the task of testing the strength of the iron and other works to the IITs in Chennai and Hyderabad.

AP Assembly session from June 21

The state government had decided to conduct an Assembly session from June 21. Initially the government planned to have the session from June 24. However, the government had revised the schedule and now fixed June 21 for the session.

The session would elect Assembly speaker and deputy speaker this time. The election would be held after the members take the oath. The Protem speaker would administer the oath to the members on the first day of the session. The state government is yet to name the protem speaker.

Sources in the TDP say that chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu had decided to name Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary as the prote speaker. Governor Justice Abdul Nazeer would administer the oath to protem speaker at Raj Bhavan. Later, the protem speaker would administer the oath to the members.

Sources also said that Chandrababu Naidu had zeroed in on the name of Chintakayala Ayyannapathurdu as the speaker for this Assembly. Ayyannapathrudu is the senior legislator in the house and said to be the strong critic of Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and the YSR Congress party. Chandrababu Naidu wants Ayyannapathrudu to checkmate Jagan Mohan Reddy in the assembly.

Chandrababu Naidu is yet to finalise the candidature for the deputy speaker post. Sources say that he would give the deputy speaker post either to the Jana Sena or the BJP, the two allies to the TDP. Jana Sena was given three cabinet posts, while the BJP was given just one post.

Meanwhile, former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had changed his plans due to the Assembly session. Initially, he planned to visit Idupulapaya on June 21 and have the party meeting on June 22.

AP Assembly budget session to begin on Feb 5

The Andhra Pradesh Assembly budget session is scheduled to begin on February 5. The session begins with the address of Governor S Abdul Nazeer to the joint session of the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council.

The Business Advisory Committee of the Assembly which would be held immediately after the Governor’s address would decide how many days that the session should be held and the business of the house, including the presentation of the vote on account budget.

The state cabinet which met here on Wednesday also decided to have the budget session from February 5. As the elections are round the corner, the government wants the session to be brief and is limited to three to five days.

The government is planning to have the session for three to five days. The vote on account budget is likely to be around Rs 75,000 crore. Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath would table the budget in the house. As this is the election year, the budget would mostly focus on the welfare programmes and some industrial development. The chief minister wants the budget to give highest priority to the welfare programmes.

The Jagan Mohan Reddy government had presented a Rs 2.91 lakh crore budget for 2023-24 financial year. This time, the budget may cross Rs 3 lakh crore mark, and this would be presented only after the elections and the formation of the new government.

The chief minister wants to go to the elections by showing the budget to the people which would focus only on the welfare programmes. The chief minister is confident that people would give him one more chance as he had rolled out welfare programmes to every house in the last 57 months. The vote on account budget will have only the welfare programmes.

Should we not raise voice in Assembly when our leader is illegally arrested, ask suspended TDP MLAs

Should we not raise voice in Assembly when our leader is illegally arrested, ask suspended TDP MLAs

“When our leader, Chandrababu Naidu, is illegally arrested and sent to jail should we not raise our voice in the Assembly on the injustice done to our leader,” asked the suspended TDP MLAs on Thursday.

Talking to media persons on the Assembly precincts after their suspension from the House, MLAs, Kinjerapu Atchen Naidu, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Nimmala Rama Naidu and Payyavula Kesav said that they have been suspended from the House as there is no answer to the questioned raised by them. “To run the House at will we have been sent out using 200 marshals as the State Government cannot answer 17 MLAs,” Atchen Naidu said.

Stating that they attended the Assembly on Thursday with the demands that the illegal cases filed against Naidu be lifted and he be released immediately besides the Chief Minister tender an apology to the people from the floor of the House, Atchen Naidu felt that never in the history the House witnessed such incidents that took place inside and Thursday is a very bad day in the history of the State Assembly.

Stating that Balakrishna only responded when a Minister twirled his mustache, Atchen Naidu said that the Speaker tried to send a wrong message to the public on this. The Chair for some known reasons did not take into consideration the highly objectionable remarks made by the ruling party members and Balakrishna did not cross the limits, he added.

Demanding a proper reply as to why the TDP MLAs have been suspended from the House, Atchen Naidu raised strong objections on the behaviour of the Chair. He asked as to why there is no action against the Minister who misbehaved inside the House. The Speaker did not take into consideration when some ruling party members used highly objectionable language against the TDP members, he stated.

Reaffirming that the TDP MLAs in unison strongly condemn sending to jail Chandrababu most unjustly and unlawfully, Atchen Naidu said that what is there in this to discuss on this as is being claimed by the ruling party members. The people are now well aware of the facts that Chandrababu is sent to jail in a false case, he stated.

Balakrishna said that the State Government has no evidence whatsoever that Chandrababu is involved in the scam. What happened inside the Assembly on Thursday is really painful as dictatorship is ruling the roost inside this sacred place, the Assembly, he remarked.

Kesav said that while the Chief Minister is using such nasty words on the TDP at public meetings the ruling party members are repeating them inside the House. The ruling party members treat the Assembly as the YSRCP party office, he said.

Observing that the ruling party leaders policy is nothing but bulldozing, Kesav asked the Chief Minister not to forget the fact that the YSRCP has taken birth through mulaqats and milakhats. The Chief Minister should answer how the inquiry against him in all the cases that he has been facing has come to a halt through how many mulaqats and milakhats, he added.

They were suspended for making remarks against chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy alleging that the Chief Minister did not respect the Government when the former came to the Assembly to address the joint session on the first day of the session. The TDP members alleged that it was wrong on the part of the chief minister to disrespect the Governor.

Speaker Thammineni Sitaram took strong objection to the allegation made by the TDP members. Minister for Legislative Affairs Buggana Rajendranadh said that the members were misleading the house for political gains.

As the TDP members continued to raise slogans and allegations of violation of protocol when the Governor visited the House, the speaker requested them to retire to their seats. As they refused to withdraw their protest, the legislative affairs minister proposed suspension of the members from the house for the rest of the session. The house adopted the resolution for which the entire TDP members held a protest.

The TDP members walked to the podium and raised slogans against the suspension of their members. As they did not stop the agitation despite the speaker’s requests, the legislative affairs minister moved another motion suspending 10 TDP MLAs from the House for the rest of the day.

Meanwhile, YSR Congress rebel MLA, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, held a protest in the House seeking developmental works in his Nellore Rural constituency. Though the speaker requested the member to give a representation to the government on the constituency issues, Sridhar Reddy continued to hold a protest in the house holding a placard.

It was then the legislative affairs minister moved a motion seeking suspension of Sridhar Reddy for the rest of the session, till March 24.

The opposition TDP MLAs and the MLCs held a protest on the first day of the winter session of AP Assembly on Thursday. The MLAs and the MLCs went to the Assembly in a rally raising slogans against chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for not releasing the job calendar.

In the Assembly, when the House took up discussion on decentralisation of administration, the TDP members N Rama Naidu, Payyavula Keshav and Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary protested against the government’s decision of three capitals. They blamed the government for destroying Amaravati, which was well planned by the TDP government.

When Minister Buggana Rajendranath alleged that the TDP leaders had purchased lands in Amaravati villages even before it was declared as capital, the TDP MLAs intensified their protest in the House, demanding that the minister prove his allegations.

Payyavula Keshav threw a challenge to the Minister in the House to prove that he had purchased the lands in Amaravati before it was declared as the capital. He said that he also purchased some lands in Amaravati only after it was declared as the capital and claimed that it was nothing wrong or illegal.

The TDP leaders also demanded that Speaker Thammineni Sitaram give them time to explain their views and also to reply to the allegations made by the Ministers and other MLAs of the ruling party. As the speaker denied permission, the TDP members walked into the well of the House and raised slogans against the government.

At this point, Minister for Legislative Affairs, Buggana Rajendranath, moved a resolution seeking suspension of the TDP MLAs from the House for the rest of the day. Accordingly, the speaker announced the suspension after introducing the motion and getting it passed by the members.
