In a significant change in the political equations in Delhi, Opposition candidate and TDP’s Rajya Sabha MP CM Ramesh has won as the member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Ramesh has won with the support of opposition parties Congress, CPI, CPM, DMK and others.
Chandrababu’s close aide Ramesh has been elected to the Most Powerful Parliament Committee i.e PAC. Ramesh has got the highest votes followed by BJP’s Bhupender Yadav. JD(U) member Harivansh, who is a close confidant of Nitish Kumar, has been fielded as the NDA candidate but he stood defeated. Ramesh has got the maximum 110 out of 205 votes. With this Ramesh is re-elected to the PAC that has more power to raise his voice against the gross injustice meted out to AP.
This is seen as a big blow to the BJP, NDA and of course to YCP. Despite having two Rajya Sabha MPs Vijay Sai Reddy and Vemi Reddy couldn’t even dare to stand in the polls. TDP has been elected by the Opposition parties unanimously.
Deputy Chairman?
Now, all eyes are on the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman post. Opposition and ruling parties are expected to have a tug of war for the key post. Since both have neck-and-neck, regional parties – AIADMK, BJD, TRS and Shiv Sena – which haven’t decided whom to support yet would play the key role.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu has announced the August 9 election to the post of Deputy Chairman. The post fell vacant after the retirement of PJ Kurien in June. The nomination papers for the Deputy Chairman post have to be filed by Aug 8 noon.
