YS Jagan Mohan Reddy requests recognition as Andhra Pradesh's Leader of Opposition and principal opposition party.
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, former Andhra Pradesh CM and YSRCP chief, has requested Assembly Speaker C Ayyannapatrudu to recognise him as the Leader of Opposition and his party as the principal opposition party. Reddy claims that law mandates the party with the highest number of seats in opposition should be recognised as principal opposition, and no law requires 10% seats to confer this status. He also contends that making him take oath as a member of the assembly after ministers' swearing-in was against tradition.
