The YSR Congress party on Thursday said that it was willing to introduce a No Confidence Motion against the Congress government in case the recognized opposition TDP extends its support to the move.
"As a recognized opposition party, TDP should take the initiative and introduce the no-confidence motion to enable the assembly discuss the plethora of problems dogging the state," Party Central Governing Council (CGC) member M V Mysura Reddy told media persons here on Thursday.
"We are ready to support such a motion. Or else, we are ready to introduce such a motion if you extend your support," Mysura Reddy asserted and asked TDP whether it is ready to support it. He observed that it is the responsibility of the recognized opposition party Telugu Desam to introduce a no-confidence motion to ensure that all problems being faced by the state can be discussed at full length in the assembly.
He said it was the right time for TDP to introduce a no confidence motion as political instability is lurking and people are suffering due to severe power crisis, hike in RTC charges, and the flare up of essential commodities. "You will not find a better time to use a no-confidence motion as a weapon and introduce it to discuss the people's issues in the assembly on a full-fledged level," Mysura Reddy told TDP.
Mysura Reddy said that the aim of a no-confidence motion was not just bringing down the government. It could be used to question the government on its failures and to try to find solutions to the problems being faced by the people, he remarked. He said that YSRCP does not have enough strength to introduce the motion. "We don't have enough strength to do it. Neither is our party a recognized one," he said, asking TDP to prove its sincerity and credibility as a responsible opposition.
Mysura Reddy has rejected the allegations that YSRCP has been trying to use the no-confidence threat as a tool to bring the Party president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy out of jail. "There is no need for us to talk to a party which will only get around 25 seats in the next Assembly Elections," he said, adding that regional parties will play key role at the Centre after the next General Elections.
