Members of the main opposition YSR Congress will meet at the party office here on Monday morning to chalk out different forms of protests even as it plans to continue with its boycott of the remaining days of the budget session of the Legislative Assembly.
Eight YSRC MLAs were suspended for three days on March 19 after they trooped into the well of the House and entered into an argument with Speaker Kodela Siva Prasada Rao when the mike of Leader of the Opposition Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy was cut during the debate on the budget.
Subsequently, the YSRC MLAs charged the Speaker with not allowing them to speak and served a notice for moving a no-confidence motion against him. Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy then stated that they would not attend the House till the no-trust motion was taken up for debate.
However, with Assembly rules stipulating that such a motion when backed by 50 members could be admitted only after 14 days of serving the notice, there was no scope for it to be taken up in the ongoing budget session, which was schedule to end on March 27.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), an ally of the ruling TDP, has decided to request the main opposition to end its boycott.
BJP MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju said he was planning to meet Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy tomorrow and appeal to him to return to the House.
