Andhra Pradesh Assembly has convened for a one-day session to pass the budget for the year 2021-22. The main opposition party, Telugu Desam has boycotted the session and so, only the ruling party is in the house. While conducting the assembly session in the middle of a pandemic sounds indifferent, the Chief Minister himself is seen without a mask.
Following their leader, many Ministers and MLAs were seen without masks. This has become a topic of discussion on social media. Interestingly, MLA Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy arranged several flexies all along the way to the assembly asking people to wear a mask.
The flexies have the pictures of the Chief Minister and Chevireddy. But both of them were not seen wearing a mask in the house. Tammineni Sitaram, the Speaker recently got infected with COVID-19 and recovered after a long stay in the hospital. The speaker is seen wearing a double mask for himself but did not try to ask the members to wear a mask.
TDP General Secretary Nara Lokesh also came hard on the Chief Minister for this. He criticized the Chief Minister for being a bad example to his ministers, MLAs, and also the people while spending crores on ads asking people to wear masks.
