MLA’s “resignation” creates flutter

KAIKALURU (Krishna dt): Andhra Pradesh Congress MLA Y. Raja Ramachander on Friday created a mild flutter in political circles for some time by announcing his resignation as MLA in protest against the “officials’ apathy towards housing for the poor,” but backtracked within no time.

The MLA, who had enacted a similar drama on a couple of occasions earlier too, announced his resignation at a press conference on the grounds that the State Housing Corporation Managing Director R. Subrahmanyam, who reviewed the pace of works under Indiramma housing, had failed to initiate action against the officials who did not discharge their duties properly.
