BJP IRKED OVER NOT BEING INVITED TO BAC MEET
Hyderabad: Slamming the TRS for not inviting the BJP to the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting, BJP MLA M Raghunandhan Rao demanded the Minister for Legislative Affairs and the Speaker to reveal the reason behind a national party not receiving the invitation.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP office on Monday, Rao said that the way the State government held the BAC meeting reflected their wish to run the Assembly in a unilateral, totalitarian manner. “This is not good for democracy,” he added. He said that the saffron party would adopt a Gandhian non-cooperation policy
