YSRCP's participation in Bharath bandh successful

Reasserting the Party’s commitment to people’s cause, YSRCP MLA Golla Babu Rao has said that the bandh called by various opposition parties in protest against the Central government‘s policies was successful.

“Our Party has observed bandhs, rasta roko, dharna and deekshas at all the district and constituency level headquarters against the hike in diesel prices, ration of LPG cylinders and allowing FDI in retail sectors as the Centre’s decision will affect all sections of society,” he told reporters in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

“Our Party MLAs also held a dharna at the State Assembly demanding rollback of hiked diesel prices and also against the abrupt adjournment of assembly without taking up public issues.
MLAs of our Party expressed resentment over the conduct of the Assembly which goes against the set parliamentary practices,” he said adding that the legislators on dharna were arrested by police.
The Centre has been very rude towards the common man and has been increasing the prices irrationally and the decision to allow FDI into retail market will further burden the common man”, he said adding that the Party cadre across the State had conveyed the message of resistance through dharnas and deekshas.
“YS Rajasekhar Reddy had given subsidies and did not allow the price hike to affect the common man and had shown an example of good governance”, he added.

“Ours is a people’s party and we are with the people and will always take up their issues. It is very ironic that the Centre which has restricted the supply of gas cylinder to six has issued a notice to increase the number to nine in Congress ruled States. This discrimination is beyond comprehension,” he said.
“It is also surprising to note that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has welcome the decision of FDI in retail sector which shows the concern the Congress party has for the common man, he stated.
“TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu instead of moving a no-confidence motion against Kiran Kumar Government has gone to Delhi to participate in the dharna at Jantar Mantar which shows that he want to safeguard the State Government by hook or crook”, he said.
On the Party’s conduct on the floor of the House, he said, “we are prepared to have a debate and discussion on all public issues and we have given adjournment notices on various issues.
