Ugly scenes were created in the AP State Assembly today, when the ruling and opposition members began arguments on the Pattiseema and Polavaram Projects. Their arguments on the subject gradually drifted to some unnecessary and silly points which led to ugly fights.

 

Jagan Mohan Reddy has been strongly arguing that Pattiseema project is a mere waste of money and may turn hurdle for Polavaram project. He alleges that the ruling TDP government has taken up this project only to benefit the contractors. He objects the G.O. issued by the state government that has no mention about Rayalaseema. So far, he has been raising objections on the Pattiseema Project, but today he plainly asked the state government to scrap the project immediately.

 

Irrigation Minister Devineni Uma Maheswara Rao replying to him said “While you (Jagan Mohan Reddy) could see only commissions and percentages in this project, we (state government) is seeing drinking and irrigation water supply to the needy people in the Rayalaseema districts. Later, the arguments between members of both parties have led to an ugly fight and it reaches its flash point in no time. Speaker has to adjourn the house for few minutes to bring the house into control. There is nothing worth mentioning about their cat fights.

 

Earlier, when the business advisory committee has met to finalize the schedule of the Assembly sessions, YSR Congress leaders reportedly threaten the speaker that they will create ugly scenes in the house, if he doesn’t allow their agenda in the house. If seen the scene created today by them in the house, one may agree it is the scene what they have talked about. But, YSR members alone can’t be blames because it is not possible to make claps with one hand. Ruling and opposition parties’ members should think whether this is way they run the house.
