"Lot of issues regarding Andhra Pradesh, especially AP Reorganisation Act": YSRCP MP Mithun ahead of all-party meeting

New Delhi [India], January 30 (ANI): YSRCP MP Mithun Reddy on Thursday arrived in Delhi for the all-party meeting ahead of the Budget Session, stressing the need to address long-pending issues related to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
Speaking to ANI, Reddy highlighted that previous sessions did not allocate enough time for these critical matters and emphasized the party's demand for adequate time to discuss and resolve them.
"There are a lot of issues regarding Andhra Pradesh, especially the AP Reorganisation Act for which not enough time was given in the previous sessions. So, we are going to demand time for those pending issues of AP Reorganisation Act," he said.
Speaking on the Maha Kumbh stampede incident, the YSRCP MP said that that it was unexpected.
"It is a religious event, and we don't want to politicise it. It is very unfortunate. We wish that such things don't happen," he said.
Earlier, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Kiren Rijiju announced that the government has called an all-party meeting on January 30.
He also appealed for the cooperation of opposition leaders in holding smooth discussions in the House during the upcoming session.

Kiren Rijiju also referred to the previous winter session of Parliament.
"In the last two sessions, there was some 'hungama' in the Parliament which created a poor image of our Parliament. I want to appeal to Opposition leaders and other MPs to take part and hold discussions in Parliament during the session. If the Opposition allows the Parliament to run, then discussions can happen easily," he added.
He expressed hope that Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman would present a good and balanced budget.
