Hyderabad, July 16 (UNI) Coinciding with the Presidential elections, the Andhra Pradesh state assembly will have ten sittings during the Monsoon session which began today.

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee, headed by Speaker K R Suresh Reddy.

A short duration discussion would be taken up on the Sachar Committee report and the Prime Minister's 15-point programme for the welfare of the Minorities, Government Chief Whip N Kirankumar Reddy told reporters after the meeting.

All issues relating to land would also come up for discussion in the house, he added.

Even as opposition parties pressed for extending the duration of the session in keeping with the ruling Congress party's promise to have sitting for a minimum of 60 days in a year, the Government made it clear that the Assembly session could be held only for 51 days in a year as it had to simultaneously ensure conduct of business in the Legislative Council and take care of governance too.

TDP Legislature Party Deputy Leader Y Ramakrishnudu told reporters that his party would have floor coordination with other opposition parties to raise large number of issues, including price rise and alleged non-implementation of GO 610 relating to employment for locals in the six zones in the state.

CPI Floor leader Ch Venkata Reddy and CPI(M) Floor leader N Narasimaiah criticised the Government for not having assembly sittings for more number of days or sit for more number of hours on each of the ten days.

BJP Floor leader G Kishan Reddy lamented that too little time was allocated for discussion on a large number of public issues.

Accusing non-BJP parties of indulging in competitive appeasement of minorities, the BJP leader contended that the TRS, by pressing for an immediate resolution on implementation of the Sachar Committee report which was under the realm of the Centre, exposed its lack of commitment to issues concerning the Telangana people, including implementation of GO 610.
