The opposition YSR Congress has decided to highlight all the people’s issues in Assembly commencing tomorrow but the Call Money cum sex racket, that rocked the state in the past two days, is at the top of agenda its agenda.
The party claimed that the TDP government had canceled the leave of Vijayawada police commissioner Sawang to handle the serious case only after the Opposition party put pressure on it. The party described it as a knee jerk reaction of the government. All the issue the party going to raise in the Assembly had been discussed in the YSRCLP meeting held this morning.
“Besides the Call Money cum sex racket, we will also raise the Government policy on bauxite mining which goes against the tribal interests and harms the ecology of the region. This apart, the issue of anganwadi, asha workers, the plight of contract workers, the issues of drought and floods will be taken up on priority basis. We will also demand the payment of MSP, purchase of discolored paddy and failure to control the prices of essential commodities,” Party Deputy Floor leader Jyothula Nehru, MLC Pillii Subhashchandra Bose and MLA Uppuleti Kalpana said after the meeting, which was chaired by Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
“The Vijayawada Commissioner of Police cancelling his leave and resuming duty has raised the hopes of many victims. We hope that there will be no interference in his functioning. We demand that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) be set up to expedite the investigation and protection should be provided to those women who have openly come out and complained against scam operators,” they said.
They also demanded that the session be extended giving ample time to the House to take up all the important issues that cropped up recently .
A bad precedent had been set in with ministers announcing the number of days of the assembly session which is otherwise the prerogative of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), they said and added that the session should be longer enough to discuss all pressing issues concerning the people.
