Jagan Reddy rebuked for making insinuations against AP Speaker

HYDERABAD: YSR Congress president and leader of opposition in Andhra Pradesh (AP) legislative assembly, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy attracted Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao's wrath on the first day of the winter session on Thursday after he sought to cast aspersions on the latter in the House.

Jagan alleged that the Speaker was trying to "insult" him by not allowing him to speak after chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the House, on a condolence motion.

"It is a tradition that the leader of opposition speaks after the leader of the House. But, I was denied an opportunity. The Speaker should follow the traditions," Jagan said.
