Vijayawada: AgriGold issue rocked the Assembly as the adjournment motion moved by the YSR Congress was turned down by Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao on Wednesday. Soon after the Question Hour started the YSRC members demanded suspension of the regular business and to take up a discussion on AgriGold victims.
As the Speaker turned down the adjournment motion, the Opposition members stormed into the Well shouting slogans demanding a discussion. YSRC members alleged that the TD leaders have colluded with the Agri-Gold management and expressed doubts that valuable properties like Hailand were being sold to the benami’s of the TD leaders. Minister K. Achennaidu said that as the AgriGold issue was pending with the High Court, the House cannot take up discussion on the subjudice matter. He also said the government was committed to do justice to the AgriGold victims and the Chief Minister will ensure that the last depositor will get his deposits back.
Meanwhile, the TD official spokesperson Bonda Umamaheswara Rao linked the AgriGold issue to YSR family. He alleged that the owners of AgriGold were close friends of the YSS family and they were seen together in family functions, which has actually built the confidence among the people whodeposited their money with AgriGold and ended up losing their money.
