Hyderabad: With no let-up in the logjam over the discussion on the AP Reorganisation Bill -2013, the State Assembly and the Council were adjourned on Thursday without transacting any business.
Both the presiding officers took care to see that their decision to adjourn the legislature would not send any wrong message to the people and hence decided not to adjourn the legislature sine die. They announced that the Assembly and the Council would meet again on January 3. Throughout the day, both Houses reverberated with pro-Telangana and Samaikyandhra slogans. Telugu Desam and YSR Congress MLAs from the Seemandhra region continued to stall the proceedings within minutes of commencement of the session.
As per the new schedule, the session would commence its sitting in two spells in January. The first spell would consist of eight working days from January 3 to January 10 and the second spell of six working days from January 16 to 23.
While Seemandhra and T MLAs raised slogans and held placards, YSR Congress MLAs came to the Assembly clad in black dress and brought cauliflowers in a symbolic gesture to say the Centre and the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy were deceiving the people of Seemandhra region by making false promises. The T MLAs cutting across party lines propose to meet the President of India during his stay in Hyderabad and apprise him of the developments.
Seemandhra leaders said that unless the government furnishes full information on various issues raised by them, they would not allow the discussion to take place at any cost. They also said that they would insist on division on every clause.
