AP, TS WEBSITES ON ASSETS DECLARATION UNDER REPAIR

By Udumula Sudhakar Reddy

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Legislative Assembly websites continue to show the page of
“Members and Assets Liabilities” as “Under construction” since the election of new members. Most ministers and MLAs of AP and TS are not declaring their assets to the Speaker every year.
According to Rule 364 of Procedure and Conduct of Business, every member has to declare his or her
assets to the Speaker within 30 days of taking oath and update the same every year before July 31;
the declaration shall be treated as a “public document”.
 In 2015, AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu’s assets were declared by his son Mr Nara Lokesh who als asked all ministers and MLAs to declare their assets. But most of them did not do so.
