Andhra Assembly adjourned twice as TDP, TRS disrupt proceedings

Hyderabad Proceedings of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly were disrupted by TDP, TRS and MLAs of rebel leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's group on different issues forcing its adjournment twice this morning.
The TRS and TDP MLAs stormed the Speaker's podium holding placards on Telangana and fee reimbursement issues as soon as the House assembled for the day's proceedings. This led to the first adjournment for 10 minutes.
Government Chief Whip Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka sought to move a privilege motion over the incidents that happened in the House during the Governor's address yesterday.

Deputy Speaker Nadendla Manohar said he would examine the notice and take a decision on allowing the privilege motion. When the House re-assembled half an hour after the adjournment, the TDP and TRS members continued their protest standing in the Well of the House.
The Deputy Speaker told the members that exhibits of any sort were not permitted in the House as per rules.
At that point, 12 Congress MLAs and two PRP MLAs – owing allegiance to Jagan – rose to their feet carrying posters with the picture of late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
They demanded that the government keep its promise and immediately release funds for reimbursement of tuition fee for students pursuing professional courses.
As the din continued with the protesting members unrelenting, the Deputy Speaker adjourned the proceedings for half an hour for the second time.
Bedlam prevailed in the state Legislature yesterday as TRS and TDP MLAs from Telangana region virtually manhandled Governor E S L Narasimhan as he was delivering the customary address to the joint sitting of both houses on the opening day of the Budget Session.
