VIJAYAWADA: Asserting that the issue of the Select Committee is under the purview of the AP Legislative Council Chairman and he sent the three capitals bills to the panel using his discretionary powers under Rule 154, Leader of the Opposition in the Council and senior TDP leader Yanamala Ramakrishnudu has said that the Secretary of the Legislature doesn’t have the right to question the authority of the Chairman.
Speaking to mediapersons at the party central office at Atmakur on Monday, Yanamala said that the Secretary rejected directions of the Chairman twice regarding constitution of the Select Committee to review the Decentralisation Bill. The decision of the Chairman will be final in the issue, he maintained.
Accusing the YSRC government of resorting to commit a blunder by seeking to abolish the Council, he said that the TDP MLCs will apprise the President, Governor and the Centre on the issue.
