Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the President of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP,) Nara Lokesh, the General Secretary of the TDP and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) attended the Andhra Pradesh Budget session wearing black.
Protesting against the arrest of the TDP leaders J.C. Prabhakar and K. Atchannaidu, MLAs and MLCs were wearing black shirts during the proceedings.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Nimmala Ramanaudu said that the sessions have been restricted for two days only to fulfill Government’s own agenda.
Mr. Ramanaidu demanded the session and meetings to be for a minimum 15 days to discuss public issues and budget.
Leaders have said that they are playing in the name of welfare only to exploit public money.
According to sources, the TDP is likely to boycott the ongoing budget sessions.
In the speech, the governor said that the YSRCP government has implemented the welfare schemes and the people are happy with the schemes and lauded the Government.
This is the second time that the former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu was wearing black dress to the State assembly after 2019.
The Andhra Pradesh Budget session began on the 16th of June, amid the Novel Coronavirus outbreak.
The session is expected to continue for a week. However, a final decision regarding the duration would be taken by the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) later today.
