While YSRC MLAs have boycotted Babu and AP Assembly the TDP MLAS have been granted their request for leave, from the assembly in session – to attend weddings.
They believe it is a good reason: it’s a bumper time for weddings with an estimated 1.2 lakh marriages to be held over the next few days both in TS and AP. Because it’s an auspicious period.
The MLAs are in the middle of their extended four-day weekend.
The session of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly began at the start of the month and is to end on the 30th.
More than 100 MLAs of the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had written to the Speaker, Kodela Sivaprasad Rao, asking to be excused for two days over their weekend off. The Speaker agreed.
To make up, the lawmakers have agreed to two extra days in the session.
