YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy dared the TDP to make the eight defectors resign from the seats and get them re-elected. Speaking after bathing the Ambedkar statue with milk on Saturday, he said the TDP has no respect for the law and judiciary. He slammed the TDP for not allowing YSRCP MLA Roja into the Assembly despite court orders. YS Jagan led the march from the Assembly to the Ambedkar statue after the Assembly was abruptly adjourned on Saturday afternoon.
Here is what YS Jagan said at the impromptu presser:
* TDP PROTECTING DEFECTORS: The TDP is misusing the office of the speaker to protect the eight defectors. Chandrababu has shamelessly admitted MLAs from YSRCP into his fold and is afraid to go to polls as he knows the people would teach him a fitting lesson. He is trying to use the Speaker's office to save himself. If he has the guts, he should make them resign and go for the polls.
* RULING PARTY IS LYING: The Government is lying through its teeth when its says that the house has unanimously passed the resolution suspending Roja for one year. The fact is 67 YSRCP MLAs have resolutely opposed this.
* NO RESPECT FOR DEMOCRACY: The Government is behaving in the most disrespectful manner. It has no respect for the court of law. though the High Court has allowed Roja to attend the house, the TDP Government is not allowing her. They are not showing any respect to the women. We strongly condemn this undemocratic behaviour.
* PRIVILEGES COMMITTE - WHY NOW? Now, the Government is talking of holding a meeting of the privileges committee. Why was no meeting held when TDP members, including Chandrababu Naidu, have used highly unparliamentary words in the house.
* ASSEMBLY BOYCOTT ON MONDAY: On Monday, we are going to the High Court to highlight the contempt of court by the TDP Government. As mark of solidarity to the judiciary, which is sought to be undermined by the TDP government., we will boycott the proceedings on Monday.
