AP council abolition not possible now?

YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s plan of getting the state legislative council abolished under any circumstances is not working out at least for now, thanks to the abrupt adjournment of the Lok Sabha on Monday.

All these days, the YSRC leaders have been giving the impression that the Union home ministry would introduce a bill in Parliament on abolition of AP legislative council, resolution for which was passed in the state assembly last month.

In fact, Jagan had specifically taken up the council abolition issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as Union home minister Amit Shah, stating that the legislative council had become a major hurdle in the way of implementation of several decisions taken by his government.
