Rebel MLAs To Attend Assembly

Rebel Congress MLAs who are now sailing with the YSR Congress party, on Monday, announced that they would continue to attend the Budget session of the state Legislative Assembly till they are disqualified.

Talking to reporters, MLA Pilli Subhash Chandrabose said that participating in the Assembly session was their right, and that they would exercise it till they face disqualification for violating the party whip during the No-Confidence Motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy government.

Describing Governor E S L Narasimhan's address as "jaggery of words", Pilli said that the government has failed to mention any relief package for the drought-hit farmers in the state.

Further, the government tried to portray YSR's schemes differently, he added.

Earlier, 17 rebel MLAs attended the session wearing khandwas of the YSR Congress party. (INN)
