YSR Congress Party MLAs, who met the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, at his camp office in Vijayawada were disappointed with his indifferent attitude. After making futile attempts several times, for the first time in two and half years they succeeded in getting an appointment with him.

After meeting the chief minister former minister Dr P Ramachandra Reddy stating that the meeting was `disappointed’, he said that the chief minister even not extended formal courtesies being showed for legislators and firmly indicated that no funds would be spared for opposition MLAs.

Over 40 MLAs marched to CM’s camp office on foot from state guest house and mainly questioned why Assembly Constituency Development (ACD) funds are not releasing to opposition MLAs. Moreover, they strongly objected that the government issuing GOs for releasing of such funds in the name of TDP leaders, who were defeated in last polls.

Reddy accused that not a single rupee was released for MLAs, Zilla Parishad Chairpersons and ZPTCs, belonging to opposition. “We urged him ACD funds should not be treated as TDP Development fund, but funds released as per constitutional norms”, he said.
