For the 10th consecutive working day on Tuesday, the Lok Sabha got adjourned without conducting any regular business, following the ruckus created by the All Indian Anna DMK members demanding constitution of a Cauvery Board.
As a result, the House could not take up the discussion on no-confidence motion against the NDA government, notices for which were issued by the Congress, the Telugu Desam Party and the YSR Congress party.
The same scenes that were witnessed in the last nine sittings got repeated on Tuesday as well.
For onlookers, the issuances of notices by the Opposition parties and their summary rejection by Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan continue to be a big drama.
“It is nothing but a high drama enacted by the TDP and the YSRCP only in their war of one-upmanship for their vested political interests,” said senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Chinta Mohan.
Speaking at a meeting on ‘Special Category Status (SCS), Chinta Mohan said though these two parties were aware that the SCS and dethroning BJP government were not possible, they took up the no-trust vote keeping an eye on the 2019 elections.
He, however, said the SCS was possible only after the Modi government was removed and the Congress elected to power in the state in the 2019 elections.
Rayalaseema Intellectual Forum (RIF) convener M Purushottam Reddy said that both TDP and YSRCP did a mistake by basing the no-confidence motion on SCS instead of the violation of the AP Reorganisation Act.
He said insisting on AP Reorganisation Act implementation will benefit the state more so the backward Rayalaseema as it would result in the region get about 1.5 lakh crore worth development initiatives including Dugarajapatnam Port, Mannavaram Project, and Galeru-Nagari Project.
