Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayyannapatrudu made shocking remarks during the ongoing Legislative Assembly sessions, criticizing some MLAs for coming and going like thieves. Expressing deep dissatisfaction, he questioned their commitment as elected representatives and condemned their practice of signing the attendance register but not staying for discussions.
The Speaker’s comments were particularly directed at YSRCP MLAs, as reports revealed that seven legislators signed the attendance register but left immediately after the Governor’s speech on Thursday. He strongly objected to this behavior, stating, “What kind of people's representatives do this? If they don’t even stay to hear responses to their own questions, what purpose does their attendance serve?”
Following this, Speaker Ayyannapatrudu read out the names of the absent MLAs, emphasizing that such traditions are unacceptable. He urged all legislators to attend and actively participate in discussions, warning that those who fail to fulfill their responsibilities might not be needed in the House. His remarks have triggered a political stir, drawing widespread attention.
