YSRC demands Assembly Session to be longer

YSR Congress took a dig at the state government at its decision to hold the Assembly Session for a short duration.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, MLC and YSRC leader Umareddy Venkateshwarlu lashed out at the state  government saying that when the state was facing several issues, the state government has decided to hold a short duration Session to approve the GST Bill. The YSRC leader demanded that the Session should be extended at least of a month.

Saying that it was unfortunate that AP Government called for the Assembly session after six months and that too for a shorter duration, he said that the people of the State were facing a host of problems, the farming community is in distress due to drought like condition and these issues need an extensive discussion to solve them. However, he said that the state government was washing off its hands by conducting a short duration Assembly Session. When will the issues like special category status to AP, Polavaram and others issues be discussed if the Session is for four or five days, he asked.
