Speaker unveils YSR's portrait

A nine-foot portrait of late Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy was unveiled on the Assembly Committee Hall precincts by Speaker N Kirankumar Reddy on Thursday.

Chief Minister K Rosaiah, Assembly chairman Chakrapani and several MLAs attended the meeting.

Telugu Desam MLAs kept away from the function and TDP chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu questioned as to how they had taken the decision of installing the portrait of YSR in the Assembly Committee Hall.

Speaker Kirankumar Reddy speaking on the occasion said he never overlooked rules to place the portrait of late YSR. The speaker asserted that the members do not have any right to ask why the portrait was unveiled in the Assembly.
