VIJAYAWADA: Prime Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in the State Legislative Assembly suggested to President Thammineni Seetharam that opposition leader (LOP) N. Chandrababu Naidu be admitted to a psychiatric hospital “as the latter was talking about irrelevant issues.”
This statement by CM Jagan came as the LOP tried to detect flaws in the functioning of the state government while participating in a brief discussion on the sites of the houses and the Tidco houses. As he spoke, Naidu repeatedly insisted that the Speaker give him more time to continue the discussion and spoke on issues unrelated to the houses and the Tidco house sites.
At this stage, Jagan advised Thammineni Seetharam that Naidu be given another two to three minutes to finish his statement, so that he (CM) could make his statement on the matter. Jagan said people are eagerly waiting to know what the Chief Minister will say about the housing plan. The CM even advised the president to suspend TD MLAs who were disrupting proceedings in the House.
Jagan Mohan Reddy had recalled speeches he made during his padayatra that the TD regime was handing out houses of 300 square feet each at a cost of rupees. 6 lakh in which Rs. 1.5 lakh each paid by the state and central government, while the rest of Rs. The beneficiary had to raise 3 lakh as a bank loan, which would have to pay Rs. 3,000 per month for a period of 20 years.
When the Chief Minister said that he had assured that he would waive the contribution from the beneficiaries, Naidu tried to identify a fault in the statement. Jagan then suggested to the Speaker that the LOP be sent to an asylum.
“I wonder if he has lost his mind. What happens to him? He should be taken to Yerragadda Hospital as it is in Hyderabad, ”commented the CM.
