In contrast to a stormy beginning of the House proceedings on the opening day of the monsoon session on Monday and also during several sittings in the previous budget session, the assembly proceedings began smoothly with the Question Hour.
The entire Opposition, dissatisfied with the Education Minister’s answers, walked out of the House.
The YSRCP MLAs and MLCs led by party chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy donned black scarves and held up placards proclaiming “Save Democracy” while arriving at the entrance of the Assembly.
The Opposition accused the government of adopting an ostrich-like policy towards pressing social, educational, economic, and political realities that constrained the youth to abandon their homeland and aging parents for low-grade jobs and substandard education in far-flung countries.
Congress legislator Roji M John said that the government's lack of awareness regarding the price surge amounts to ignoring people's hardships.
