They demanded that the government make it compulsory that the area MLA should the chief guest at all government programmes; MLAs should be informed by the officials about various government programmes in advance; the local officials should cooperate with the MLA in finding solutions to the problems of the people; Local MLA should be given importance in the selection of beneficiaries of the government programs; the local MLA should be given importance in the plaques of government programs attended by even Chief Minister or Union minister.
The signatories to the memorandum are: Maganti Gopinath, G Sayanna and T Prakash Goud, TDP MLAs, Chintala Ramachandra Reddy, BJP MLA and N. Ramchander Rao, BJP MLC.
