YSRCP to move no trust vote against ZP chief

Chittoor: The YSRCP set the stage for moving no confidence motion against ZP chairperson Girvani Chandra Prakash, according to sources. The ZP general body meeting is slated to be held at ZP meeting hall after MLC election code ends. Minister Bojjala Gopalakrishna Reddy, the legislators of TDP and YSRCP are expected to take part.

District Collector Siddarth Jain is expected to attend the meeting on behalf of the district administration who did not attend the same meeting held three months ago. Out of 65 ZPTCs in the Zilla Parishad, the TDP has absolute majority with 37 members and YSRCP claims 27 members.

Girvani Chandra Prakash was elected as ZP chairperson unanimously on July 5, 2014 as Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu selected her as the suitable candidate for the prestigious post.

She was elected as ZPTC member from Chittoor rural mandal and happens to be wife of senior TDP leader Chandra Prakash. Out of 65 ZPTC members, women are representing in 32 seats.

According to sources, Girvani husband Chandra Prakash reportedly involves in ZP administration affairs on behalf of her wife. The chairperson has openly declared that it was her dire need to get the assistance from her husband.

“What is wrong in taking suggestions from my husband who is well-versed with the people’s issues. However, I don’t allow him to interfere in administrative matters of ZP,” she defended herself on many occasions.

The YSRCP ZPTCs are accusing her of not taking interest to develop their areas in the district due to political bias. The YSRCP leaders have strong belief that certain TDP ZPTCs would cast their vote against Girvani since they are reportedly disillusioned with her administration.

Talking to The Hans India, YSRCP district president K Narayanaswamy admitted of moving no confidence motion against the ZP chief.
