Jagan Mohan Reddy gets guest house as accomodation for Budget session

Vijayawada: Roads and Buildings Guest House was allotted for the leader of the opposition Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as accommodation for the Budget session. The protocol department had issued orders to the R&B to make all arrangements accordingly. There are five guest rooms, a hall for visitors, a kitchen and a parking lot in guest house.

As per the protocol, it is the responsibility of the legislative affairs department to provide accommodation to all the members. Earlier in Hyderabad, there residential quarters were allotted for the members. But in the new-born state there is no provision yet to provide accommodation with which the state government had approved Rs 50,000 allow-ance to the members towards accommodation.

Mr Jagan does not have a residence in AP, and earlier there was a proposal to allot a suite to him in the state guest house in Vijayawada. But as the suites are common ones with crowd, the proposal was dropped and he was allotted the R&B Guest House. Protocol additional secretary, Lieutenant Colonel M. Ashok Babu said, YSRC had requested for separate accommodation to Mr Jagan. He was allotted the guest house for the Budget session.
