VIJAYAWADA: Jana Sena Party chief and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan exhorted his party legislators to be the voice of the common man in the budget session of the Assembly.
Addressing the JSP Legislative Party meeting at the party central office on Sunday evening, he urged the MLAs and MLCs to actively participate in discussions, ensuring that public issues, aspirations, and welfare concerns are effectively represented in the Assembly.
“Every word spoken by legislators carries great influence. Members should be mindful of their language and avoid offensive remarks. The public is watching our conduct in the Assembly,” Pawan Kalyan said.
Criticising the YSRCP for using vulgar language in the Assembly in the past, he urged the JSP members to uphold the decorum and dignity of the House. “YSRCP representatives may try to provoke us, but we must remain dignified, and not let their negativity influence our conduct in the House,” Pawan Kalyan said.
“Every minute in the Assembly is valuable. Our discussions should be reasonable and solution-oriented,” he said.
Pawan Kalyan acknowledged that many JSP MLAs, including himself, are new to the Assembly, and underlined the need to study the budget proposals thoroughly.
He urged the members to analyse government revenue, expenditure, departmental allocations, and debts to effectively contribute to budget discussions.
In his welcome address, JSP PAC Chairman and Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar urged the legislators to strictly adhere to the party principles while taking part in the discussions on the people’s issues in the Assembly.
He also advised legislators to compile public grievances from their constituencies and raise them in the Assembly. “If issues affect the entire state, present them collectively so that every member’s voice reaches the people,” he said.
