Accusing the State government of providing incomplete information to the legislators, the TDP today said misleading the Assembly by providing incomplete and irrelevant information amounts to breach of privilege of the House.
Six TDP MLAs, in an open letter, alleged that information in connection with Telangana Bill provided by the State government was incomplete. “We sought information on various issues of the Bill but information given by the government was irrelevant to our questions”, they said. In the letter, the TDP legislators said on page No. 4, the government has stated that it has no information about debts and properties. These two subjects (debts and assets) are very important and not providing information to MLAs and to the public, the Congress government wanted to gain politically which is unfortunate, they said.
The TDP MLAs said ambiguity on this subject may lead to chaos and law and order problem in future. The government which provided figures on expenditure for 2012-13 were not tallying, they said. There was a need to give a separate statement about government and private revenue since Hyderabad was capital of the State for the last 55 years. We sought information about sharing of revnue on page no. 15. But the government has failed to provide information. In page no. 16, we asked investments details by the Centre and State governments, but government said it has no information.
“We sought information for sharing of water and power production, but the government has given either incomplete or irrelevant information, the TDP legislators said. The letter was signed by MLAs Payyavula Keshav, Devineni Umamaheshwar Rao, Dullipalla Narendra, B. Mastanrao, Kandula Narayana Reddy and Tangirala Prabhakar Rao. (NSS)
