YS Sharmila wants Jagan Reddy to resign if he plans to skip assembly session

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president YS Sharmila called for the resignation of her brother YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and his party leaders if they lack the “boldness” to attend the upcoming assembly session.

Sharmila made the comments on Friday, after the YSRCP announced plans to boycott the session, which is set to begin on November 11.

“If Jagan Mohan Reddy, his MLAs, or any YSRCP leaders do not have the courage to attend the assembly, they should resign,” Sharmila said at a Congress event in Krishna district’s Machilipatnam area.

Addressing a press conference at a YSRCP office in



Tadepalli, Reddy had said that attending the upcoming Assembly session would be pointless.

He claimed the NDA government aims to suppress the Opposition's voice by not recognising YSRCP as the Opposition party or its leader as the Leader of the Opposition (LoP).

According to Reddy, YSRCP MLAs would only be allowed two minutes each to speak, and without an LoP status, there would be no fair opportunity to discuss public issues.

“Also, the election for graduate MLC is coming up. As there is no possibility of conducting the session democratically, we have decided to boycott the assembly session,” Reddy said.
