Kamareddy MLA Demands No Salary for KCR if He Skip Assembly

The political scene in Telangana heated up as the opposition leader, K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), finally entered the assembly yesterday. This marked his first appearance since losing power in the 2023 assembly elections. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy criticized KCR for neglecting his assembly duties. In contrast, KTR and other BRS members argued that KCR’s presence wasn’t necessary since other BRS MLAs could handle Congress.

Venkata Ramana Reddy’s Strong Critique

This time, Kamareddy MLA Venkata Ramana Reddy voiced his frustration with KCR. He emphasized that the role of an MLA is not merely a luxury but a social responsibility given by the public.

“KCR is forgetting that the MLA post is not a decorative luxury perk. It is a social responsibility given to him by the public. He can’t miss sessions and sit in his house while taking a monthly salary of Rs 2.75 lakh as an MLA. If he doesn’t want to come to the assembly and fight for his constituency people, then he must forgo his MLA salary,” the BJP MLA stated.

Criticism of KCR’s Perks in Assembly

The firebrand BJP leader added that KCR enjoys perks such as dedicated security protocol and allowances because his constituency voted for him. He argued that KCR couldn’t shirk his MLA duties while enjoying the financial and protocol benefits that come with the position.

Notably, Venkata Ramana Reddy previously defeated both Revanth Reddy and KCR in Kamareddy, lending weight to his words. His demand for KCR to stop taking an MLA salary if he doesn’t attend sessions might soon gain traction.

Political Ramifications in Assembly

KCR’s absence from the assembly has stirred controversy, drawing sharp criticism from opposition leaders. The demand for KCR to forgo his salary if he skips assembly sessions is likely to resonate with the public, highlighting the accountability of elected representatives.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the political dynamics in Telangana are intensifying as opposition leaders demand greater accountability from KCR. Kamareddy MLA Venkata Ramana Reddy’s call for KCR to forgo his salary if he continues to skip assembly sessions underscores the importance of public duty. As the debate continues, the pressure on KCR to actively participate in assembly proceedings is likely to mount.
