The Opposition YSR Congress party on Tuesday served notice seeking to move a Privilege Motion against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for his “derogatory” comments against the YSRC legislators.
The YSRC took strong exception to the term “Alagaa Janam” used by Naidu to attack the opposition party members during his reply to to the thanksgiving motion to Governor ESL Narasimhan’s speech in the Assembly on Monday.
The notice was served according to the Assembly rule of 168 to Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao.
They alleged that Naidu, who always preaches about maintenance of dignity and decorum of the house, himself had forgotten about it and referred to opposition MLAs as “Alagaa Janam.”
Now, the question is whether Naidu used the word deliberately or unknowingly. In the general parlance, the word means “cheap people” but etymologically, it is used to refer to “untouchable people.”
Naturally, the YSR Congress party has got a weapon saying it is a derogatory word and has hurt the sentiments of SC and ST MLAs.
Though Naidu sought to give clarification on the word, he did not get the opportunity to the ruckus created in the house over the atrocities on women, which led to adjournment of the House.
