AP Marching Ahead in Welfare, Laws and Legislature
AMARAVATI: Marching ahead in welfare and development, the month had also seen the legislature asserting its domain and vociferously rejecting interference of any sort as the three pillars of democracy should work in tandem within their defined framework.
Assembly sessions and discussions on legislative competence have been the high points of the month.
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy addressed the Legislature Party meeting and gave the road map for a mass contact programme ahead of the 2024 elections and the Assembly had passed the budget for 2022-23 which was termed as People’s Budget by the Leader of the House.
The month had seen a cogent discussion on legislative competence vis-à-vis the High Court verdict on Amaravati. The Chief Minister opined that the judiciary crossed its limits and has issued impossible timelines on the development of infrastructure, the cost factor apart. Asserting that decentralisation is the government’s policy, he said that decision on the three capitals is the right and responsibility of the State government and shall not go back on its decision. The House rose in unison to state that laws are to be made by the legislature and not elsewhere.
