Wed Nov 20 14:12:20 UTC 2024: ## Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Slams Official Incompetence Over Question Hour Chaos
**Vijayawada, November 20, 2024** – Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu sharply criticized government officials today for significant coordination failures during Question Hour. The Speaker expressed his frustration over multiple instances of misdirected questions and scheduling conflicts.
One question concerning house sites was incorrectly assigned to the Revenue Minister, while the Water Resources Minister, Nimmala Rama Naidu, simultaneously fielded questions in both the Assembly and the Council. This occurred despite a system designed to divide ministerial responsibilities between the two houses. The Speaker highlighted the absurdity of the situation, questioning the officials’ competence in differentiating between Group A and Group B ministers.
In the Assembly, Mr. Naidu answered questions regarding Godavari Pushkaralu works, while concurrently, in the Council, he faced inquiries about the Galeru-Nagari and Handri-Neeva linkage projects. Speaker Patrudu directly attributed these problems to a clear lack of coordination among the officials responsible for question allocation and scheduling. He demanded improved attention to detail to prevent similar incidents in the future.
