Blaming the Centre for failing to take any action on its resolution seeking abolition of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council, the state Legislative Assembly on Tuesday adopted a fresh one, withdrawing the previous statutory resolution and seeking to continue the council that is in existence.
Finance and Legislative Affair Minister Buggana Rajendranath moved the resolution and the Assembly passed it by voice vote.
On January 27 last year, the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government passed the statutory resolution under Article 169(1) of the Constitution seeking to abolish the state Legislative Council, "purely in public interest" as it was proving a drain on the exchequer.
Earlier, the ruling YSRC was in minority in the 58-member council. Now that it has secured a majority of its members in recent day, the Jagan government passed another resolution to continue the Council.
"Despite constant persuasion of the matter at various levels and elapse of a considerable period of time of one year and 10 months, the Government of India failed to take any action on the resolution of the AP Legislative Assembly.
