Speaker slams YSRCP MLAs for skipping Assembly

State Legislative Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayannapatrudu has expressed strong displeasure over the conduct of YSRC MLAs, accusing them of failing to attend proceedings despite submitting questions for discussion.
The Speaker criticized members who signed the attendance register but did not stay for the sessions, depriving others of the opportunity to speak.
“While signatures are recorded in the assembly registers, the respective members are conspicuously absent from the proceedings,” he remarked. Questioning their commitment, he asked, “What does it mean to be elected by the people and then behave like a thief?”
He pointed out that some legislators were only appearing briefly to mark their presence before leaving, calling it a practice that does not add to their respect.
The Speaker named specific MLAs, including V Balangi Reddy, Thathiparthi Chandrasekhar, Regam Matsyalingam, Virupakshi, Dasari Sudha, Akepati Amaranadha Reddy, and Vishweshwara Raju, who were noted for such behaviour.
Urging them to uphold their responsibility, Ayannapatrudu stressed that elected representatives must honour their mandate by actively participating in legislative duties.
