Did YSR Congress party president and Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy withdraw his no-confidence motion notice given to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar against the UPA government during the last Parliament session?
The answer is yes, according to TDP MP C M Ramesh. On Friday, he alleged that Jagan and Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy had withdrawn their no-confidence motion served against the UPA government.
Quoting Lok Sabha joint secretary, Ramesh said the two YSR Congress party MPs had withdrawn the notice, but only enacted drama on the issue of bifurcation of the State. The people are feeling cheated by Jagan, he said.
However, YSR Congress party spokesman M V Mysoora Reddy brushed aside the allegations and said detractors had been deliberately distorting facts to gain political mileage.
“At no point of time did we withdraw the no-confidence motion against the UPA government. We have given notice on seven of the eight working days of Parliament and when the Lok Pal Bill was to be discussed, we told the Speaker to post our notice for the next day but the House was adjourned sine die after passing the Bill,” Mysoora Reddy said.
“We have given the notice only to show to the world that members of the Congress itself have no confidence on their own Party. We wanted to high light that point and extended support by giving the notice on all the days despite the busy schedule of Jagan who had been meeting leaders of all regional and national parties to muster support for the cause of a united State and explaining the need to amend article 3 which is being misused by the Centre,” he said.
