Normally opposition members and leaders speak more on the floor of the assembly. But has been a different scene in Andhra Pradesh where CM spoke more than any one else in the 20-day Assembly budget sessions held in two phases, which concluded on Friday.
Believe it or not the Opposition leader and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu had spoken just four minutes in the entire budget session. Because he did not attend the Assembly in the first phase during March and in the second phase which began on June 10 he was there for only three days. He got an opportunity to speak for only four minutes on June 12 and since then is abroad in US. During the Budget session the Opposition should expose and slam the Govt , but during last three years no such exercise is under way in AP.
In contrast the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy spoke about three hours and 58 minutes out of the total 57 hours 29 minutes of House proceedings of which a total of four hours and 42 minutes were wasted due to stalling of proceedings and disruptions. If only the second session of ten days is taken into consideration the house functioned for ten hours .
Interestingly, out of 293-members in the House, only 96 members and 26 ministers participated in the debate.
