YSR asks MLAs to get into poll mode

HYDERABAD: Congress legislators calling on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy henceforth will have to do proper homework before submitting representations.

In view of the coming elections, Dr. Reddy has decided not to entertain fresh representations with regard to any development schemes in districts. Armed with survey reports and performance of respective legislators, he is asking them to stop making rounds to his office with petitions. Only letters needing urgent attention would be entertained. With close to 40 Congress legislators visiting the CMO everyday, he asked them to switch to election mode.
