YSR Congress party’s Paderu MLA G. Eeshwari threatens to resign to her MLA post if the state government doesn’t revoke its decision for allowing mining of Bauxite in the Visakha agency area. Eeshwari, accompanied by the district president Amaranth and some local leaders of the party has visited the location today, where Bauxite mining will be carried out very soon.

She said “I warn the state government not to go ahead with its Bauxite mining plans otherwise I will resign to my MLA post during upcoming Assembly sessions and contest from the same constituency to prove that people are opposing government’s decision. I challenge the ruling TDP to face me with Bauxite as agenda in the by elections. If TDP candidate is defeated in my hands then Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu should quit his post vowing moral responsibility for the defeat.”

Her demand to revoke the decision on Bauxite mining can be justified because the tribal living there is also strongly opposing it. But, her idea to resign and again contest from the same constituency in the by elections is nothing but making mockery of democratic system. She can resign if wants in protest against the government’s decision, but can’t misuse that option merely to showcase her party’s strength to the ruling TDP government.

Perhaps, she is also walking in the footsteps of her party president Jagan Mohan Reddy, who few days ago said to be planned to ask all his party MLAs to resign demanding special status for the state. Generally opposition parties keep insisting the Chief Minister for resignation for one reason or the other. YSRCP MLA Eeshwari also trying the same idea to get attention of her party president Jagan Mohan Reddy.
