Uproar in Andhra assembly over demand for Telangana state | | The first day of the Monsoon Session of Andhra Pradesh assembly was a total
washout amidst uproar over the issue of statehood for Telangana.
Speaker N. Manohar adjourned the House till Tuesday after repeated adjournments
throughout the day, as members of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), the Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) and the Communist Party of India (CPI) demanded a Telangana
resolution. The legislators surrounded Manohar's podium, while the Telugu Desam
Party (TDP) leaders also rushed towards his podium. Amid the din, the speaker
adjourned the House for the day. He had earlier adjourned the house twice. With
this, the assembly lost the first day of the five-day session. The TDP and other
opposition parties were already unhappy with the government for calling a brief
session when the people are facing numerous problems. Earlier, TDP legislators
led by party chief N Chandrababu Naidu reached the assembly in a ‘padyatra’ to
protest severe power shortage in the state. Holding a lantern in his hands, Naidu
along with his party MLAs marched from Tank Bund to the assembly. The leader of
opposition alleged that the crisis had hit hard farmers and industry. Legislators
of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) reached the assembly on bicycles
to protest the hike in diesel price and the cap on subsidised LPG cylinders. |
