Opposition voice being gagged The assembly proceedings are being conducted in a one-sided manner with the Chair siding with the treasury benches and denying mike to the main opposition party. The Speaker has been behaving like a TDP legislator and not in accordance with the august position he holds. When the TDP ministers and MLAs are targeting the Leader of Opposition and are going overboard, he is mum and takes no action nor expunges the unsavoury remarks from the record. On the other hand, he asks the opposition Leader and members to withdraw the remarks at the slightest impatience from the treasury benches, which is not in the true spirit of parliamentary democracy. When the law and order issue comes up for debate, TDP contingent resorts to baseless allegations and speak out of the context which the Speaker allows but denies mike to the leader of Opposition which is against the established practice of the assembly proceedings. As main opposition, YSRCP has the right to raise issues of public interest. YSRCP urging the Speaker to be impartial and conduct the House proceedings as per the norms and give us due importance as they are taking up issues of public importance while the treasury benches are wasting the time of the House by irrelevant and baseless remarks.
