On Friday, Opposition YSR Congress staged a boycott in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly against the alleged biased attitude of Speaker K Sivaprasad Rao.


The issue broke out during Question Hour on Friday with member of ruling TDP's ally BJP, P Vishnukumar Raju stating that Opposition staying away from the House is unfortunate and appealed to Opposition Leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to attend the Assembly. The Speaker responding to that said it is the right and responsibility of the public representatives to attend the Legislature and the matter be left to the party.


TDP Whip Kalva Srinivasulu also criticized the Opposition YSR Congress for boycotting the Assembly when only eight members were suspended.


On Thursday, eight members of YSR Congress were suspended from AP Legislative Assembly for three days for their unruly behaviour following which the Opposition complained to Governor ESL Narasimhan and announced its decision to move the no-confidence motion against the Speaker. Until then, the YSR Congress has decided to boycott rest of the Assembly session and attend only when called to discuss the motion.
