The Speaker referred the issue to Assembly Rights Committee. There was a write-up in Sakshi media saying crores were spent on MLA training classes, when in reality, the classes haven’t been held yet. The matter was brought to the notice of the House by Nandikotkur MLA Jayasurya.
It was sad that Sakshi reported about crores being spent on training classes hitting out at Lok Sabha Speaker and Assembly Speaker, said the MLA. He was enraged that the story about spending crores of people’s money was written even before the classes happened.

The MLA further said it was not right on the part of Sakshi channel or newspaper to write wrong about legislative bodies. He said he will surely direct this to Privilege Committee so that they wouldn’t dare to write such misleading articles again.
Responding to the complaint, the Speaker said such acts shall not be forgiven. He said based on the request of members, he will be directing the matter to Assembly Rights Committee. The Speaker made it clear that further action will be taken depending on the report by Assembly Rights Committee.
