Visakhapatnam: The ruling Congress and
main opposition Telugu Desam Party have given a go by to
public issues and were only trying to score political points
over each other in the assembly, Praja Rajyam leader
Chiranjeevi alleged Sunday.
"The ruling party and the main opposition have
degraded the Assembly. They are more interested in scoring
political points than burning public issues like long power
cuts and water shortage," he told reporters.
"The power situation in the rural and semi-urban areas
is so bad that they are having power cuts for eight to nine
hours. Such important issues are not discussed," he said.
Chiranjeevi recently held a protest at the
headquarters of the Andhra Pradesh Power Generation
Corporation (APGENCO) and Andhra Pradesh Power Transmission
Corporation (APTRANSCO) in Hyderabad.
He also alleged that his party was not getting
adequate time to speak as the Congress and TDP wasted time in
trying outsmart each other.
