Telangana issue rocks AP Assembly

Congress MLAs from Telangana too joined the protest

PTI | March 27, 2012



For the second day in a row, the Telangana statehood issue rocked the Andhra Pradesh Assembly leading to two adjournments on Tuesday morning.

When the House began at 9 am, TDP and TRS legislators from the region stormed the Speaker's podium holding placards and raising slogans demanding that the House pass a resolution seeking creation of Telangana state.

Speaker Nadendla Manohar rejected an adjournment motion moved by TRS, TDP, BJP and CPI in this regard. Amidst the sloganeering, the Speaker initially adjourned the proceedings for 15 minutes.

The Congress MLAs from Telangana too joined the protest, standing at their respective seats, when the House re-assembled after more than an hour.

As the din continued, the Speaker asked the ministers concerned to move the demands for grants of their respective departments and adjourned the House for 30 minutes the second time.
