Praja Rajyam Party(PRP) debutant in politics Chiranjeevi today urged new Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy to act like an ''umpire'' during debates between ruling and opposition parties and facilitate more discussion on issues related to people.
''I came to know that you are a very good wicket-keeper in Cricket. I want you to be a good umpire in the House,'' the actor-turned-politician said in his maiden speech in the Assembly, sending the House into peals of laughter. Chiranjeevi is his party's floor leader.
Suggesting that the Speaker must exhibit sportsman spirit in the House, he urged allocation of more time for the Opposition to reflect the people's aspirations in the House.
The PRP had extended its support to Mr Reddy's candidature as Speaker,to continue the tradition of unanimous election to the post, he explained.
Expressing hope that the Speaker would be ''unbiased'' in his conduct, he compared the ruling and opposition benches to two wheels of a cart which had to function in a coordinated manner.
