Chandrababu shelves Speaker Kodela’s proposal

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu shelved the proposal made by Speaker Dr. Kodela Shiva Prasada Rao for construction of temporary buildings for AP Assembly and Legislative Council at Thullur and conducting upcoming winter sessions there. Chief Minister shelved his proposals as he believes it is mere wasting of public money. He suggested the Speaker to conduct winter sessions in the same building at Hyderabad.

However, he agreed to conduct the budget sessions somewhere in Andhra Pradesh, mostly in Guntur or Vijayawada in the available existing buildings. Ministers, MLAs and MLCs attending the budget sessions may be provided accommodation at Hai Lands. Although, the main opposition party YSR Congress party agrees for Speaker’s proposal, his decision to construct temporary buildings for Assembly and Council was widely criticized by the people. Hence, Chief Minister appears to be shelved the decision.
