YSRCP And TDP Set To Train Guns At Each Other

We expect the winter session of AP Legislature that commences here on Monday to be stormy with the ruling YSR Congress and the opposition Telugu Desam training their guns at each other over a host of issues. The Business Advisory Committee will meet on Monday afternoon to agree on the duration of the session and the agenda to be taken up.

Though the government is said to be ready to conduct the session for about 10 days, the main opposition is demanding that it be held for at least 15 days to discuss several pressing issues of public interest.

The state capital city, Amaravati's delayed development, the Polavaram Project, rising prices of commodities scarcity of sand, alleged attacks on its cadres across the state by the ruling party, are some issues the TDP is seeking to rise during the session, according to its senior MLA N Ramanaidu.

The YSRC is ready for a counter-attack by raising the "corruption and scandals" indulged in by the previous Chandrababu Naidu regime, as per the party sources. As per the sources, the government is expected to table the report of an expert committee it made up to probe the misuses in various projects, including the capital city development, during the previous government.

The 6-week time set for the committee to present its views has already expired, but it has not completed its task yet. The government is also preparing other businesses like introducing various Bills for enactment during the winter session. A bill for composing the RTC Fare Regulatory Commission to annually fix the passenger bus fares will be introduced. The state Cabinet will meet on December 11 to clear the draft bills.
