He made it clear that the coalition government was committed to the people and state and whatever differences may arise the alliance will continue in power for 15 years. “Though alliance faces challenges, we are here for Andhra Pradesh. NDA coali-tion will stick together for 15 years. It will be betrayal of people if we don’t stay united. We will stick together even if we are insulted. The party which doesn’t respect Governor should not even enter the House,” he said.

Speaking during discussion on motion of thanks to Governor’s speech in Assembly on Tuesday, the Deputy Chief minister said that there is no opposition in the state as people had not ac-corded the YSRCP opposition status. if they want opposition status as per percentage of votes, they should go to Germany, where there is such facility is available.

Pawan said that the coali-tion parties will act as both ruling and opposition role.

He said the coalition parties will re-spect and protect the old ethical values of political parties. He expressed surprise over so much noise in the House with 11 YSRCP members.
