YSR Congress party MLA Roja has been suspended for one year from the assembly for abusing Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu during winter assembly sessions. However, YSR Congress party still believes and argues that Roja did nothing wrong in the house, instead all its MLAs also did the same what she did in the house. YSR Congress party has been arguing that it is not correct to suspend her for such a long period without referring her case to a committee.
TDP also appears to be realized that it gave a chance to YSR Congress party for criticizing it on this issue. Hence, it made a wise move quickly. Speaker Dr. Kodela Shiva Prasada Rao has constituted a three member committee headed by MLA Mandali Buddha Prasad. TDP MLA Sravan Kumar, BJP MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju and YSR Congress party MLA Srikanth Reddy will be members of this committee. They have to submit their report within 20 days. Based on its report, Speaker will take a final decision on her suspension.
They will also inquire on how the video footage of MLA Roja’s misbehavior in the assembly leaked to media. This committee will also check whether any other members misbehaved in the assembly during rainy and winter sessions of the assembly. It is expected to chalk out some guidelines for taking actions against MLAs, if anyone misbehaves in the upcoming assembly sessions.
Ruling party’s corrected its mistake pointed out by YSR Congress party. Hence, Roja also should utilize this last opportunity. She should admit her mistake and appeal the Speaker through this committee to revoke his decision on her suspension. If, she still prefers to stick to her earlier stand on her suspension, it may send wrong message to the people about her.
