Speaker takes back remarks against Oppn

Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Thursday took back the remarks he made against the Opposition in the House on Wednesday.

After the House assembled for the day, the Speaker regretted his remarks against the Opposition and said, “If my comments had hurt any members, I will apologize.”

The Speaker lost his temper during a debate over the issue of water allocation to Brahmani Steels on Wednesday. While concealing his anger, he shouted at them stating: “What is this nonsense? You have no business to come here. Go back. You have failed as a responsible Opposition” and adjourned the House for the day.

Reddy explained that he uttered the harsh comments to run the House in a peaceful and healthy way. Later, he continued with the House business and disallowed the adjournment motion introduced by the Opposition on Thursday.
