YSR Congress Celebration (YSRCP) MLC Lella Appi Reddy has mentioned that the Nationwide Democratic Alliance (NDA) authorities is ‘conspiring to silence the questioning voice by not recognising the Opposition within the Meeting, thereby tearing aside the spirit of democracy’. 

Addressing the media on the YSRCP workplace on Wednesday (February 26, 2025), Mr. Reddy accused the coalition companions —TDP, JSP and BJP— of spreading a false narrative that the Opposition celebration standing was a mere political standing.

“The NDA companions are intentionally undermining the Opposition celebration standing to stifle the voice of democracy. The Opposition celebration standing comes with larger duty because it permits extra time to debate public points within the Meeting,” he mentioned.

Mr. Reddy mentioned solely 4 political events bought elected to the Andhra Pradesh Meeting, of which three events have been a part of the federal government. “So, the YSRCP have to be recognised as the primary Opposition. In keeping with the 1977 Parliament Act, the primary Opposition have to be recognised whatever the variety of members within the Home. The coalition authorities is ignoring this,” he mentioned.

The YSRCP, ‘being the primary Opposition’, is elevating a number of public points within the Legislative Council. “Due to this recognition, the YSRCP members are getting extra time to deliberate upon the problems of public significance. Not too long ago, when the federal government was questioned in regards to the pressured resignations of Vice-Chancellors, the coalition authorities was unable to offer solutions. The federal government was tongue-tied when questioned in regards to the lies and false claims made within the Governor’s speech. They have been pressured right into a scenario the place they needed to admit their errors,” the YSRCP chief added.
